Complicating things from the start. Not a good sign.

Well some (many, actually) people use Windows too, and some prefer tabs and some prefer spaces; I can’t see why this is a problem?

A language for configs is different from a data interchange language: the former is intended to be written and edited by humans.

Indentation is not significant.

And you can't expect windows users to always check their editor is lf compliant. Toml is not just for programmers
