>IDEs aren't created equal

Shoot, just myself using a single IDE I always end up with spaces and tabs and missing indents and oddities. When I have something that's nested and I copy/paste it into another file, some of the spaces/tabs get preserved, some don't, and I end up having to either reformat it or ignore it, and then I forget which div closes which and it's just a headache.

The "show whitespace" features of most IDEs will make the space vs. tab issue apparent. The only down side is then you start secretly hating every other dev who doesn't use this feature.
