I was being a bit facetious in my dogmas. I used Manjaro (arch downstream) way more often than arch itself. I use vim and emacs and sublime text for different things often having multiple open at a time. I sometimes use an ide that has easy integration with build tools and version control and deployments. I switched from tabs to space but never really bought that strongly into either, dark mode for life though & fonts are more important to ergonomics than I think most people give them credit.
