I gave that a shot. In about 2 minutes, without trying hard at all, I saw some strange behaviors. For example:* Start a new line * Insert a tab * The line indents: there is no tab character there, and moreover, the line will now not unindent. *Sometimes*, a tab character gets inserted, *sometimes* the line indents (and you can unindent), and *sometimes* the line indents and you cannot unindent. I couldn't really determine any rhyme or reason for why it behaves differently on pretty much identical input. I don't know the underlying format, so I can't tell what's going on, but I wouldn't exactly call that "totally nailing" tabs, and not at all what I'd expect (I expect less erratic behavior, for one). I could not reproduce this behavior. Google docs indent shifts the document or section margin in exactly the same width as the tab size. The cursor indicates I've tabbed in, and if I backspace, it shifts back the full tab width, not spaces like Evernote. Google docs works exactly as I expect a word processor should do. Is evernote a online note pad(competes with icloud notes) or a word processor(competing with google docs)? It should take a stand. I agree @NeilDurant, the underlying technology should not be rationale for user experience and functionality. Personally, I'm fine if the tab just inserts spaces, but at very least have that line up with the indent!
