Choosing a non-standard tab width is evil. They should be 8 spaces always and life would be a bit simpler.
I find four spaces much more useful for coding. You can get more indentations in while still being noticeable.
I didn't mean 8-space-wide indent but 8-space-wide tab. I use 4 spaces too (or even 3). And I don't us tabs by default. But when I have somebody else's code and make a change, it wouldn't be nice if the compiler suddenly complained about mixed tabs and spaces if it happened that the previous person used tabs. For example tabs are in ghc sources. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ qrczak@knm.org.pl ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/
