Go's adoption rate would be quadrupled if they had chosen spaces instead of tabs. It's a fact.

Fact? My team is using Atom, VS code, IntelliJ and vim-go for Go. There has never been a problem with tabs vs spaces. On save gofmt converts all spaces to tabs and when I open Go files in vim-go it converts them to spaces according to my settings. Same for all other editors, whether you like tabs or 7-space indent.

Right. After reading so much Go hate I'm not sure who is serious anymore.
