I agree with 4 spaces per indent, and in fact I never use the Tab key at all. 
The act of counting the number of times I'm pushing the space bar is part of my
discipline of indenting.  eg If I have to push space 20 times then it's probably
time to look at making a subroutine...

The editor I use (metapad) has an option for "Insert tabs as spaces", which I
have turned on.  It also inserts the right amount of spaces when enter is
pressed, to line up with where you are at.

I went off tabs in the Linux world, where without messing with the terminfo
files or what have you, tabs are 8 spaces wide which is not good for coding,
IMHO.
