Using tabs for indentation is simply not acceptable for me. I do most of the editing in plain Notepad which doesn't allow you to set a tab width. Having to use 8-char tabs takes way too much space.

GvG: Using tabs for indentation is simply not acceptable for me. I do most of the editing in plain Notepad which doesn't allow you to set a tab width. Having to use 8-char tabs takes way too much space. I'm not about to change my tools (Notepad) to conform to some arbitrary standard, instead the standard should support all tools. Also personally I'd like even single statements embraced in {}, but I can live with that.
