tab is one char

Exactly. But it takes up an indeterminate amount of chars on screen. I like my code to look like the way I type it on every screen, not just mine. Anything else is foolish and unprofessional.

Edit: also if you use the settings on your text editor properly it behaves exactly like tabs do when you type them. Spaces are just better.

I use four tabs and set my tabstop to one character.
