Back then I was using no tabs at all, and three-space identation.   Recently 
I've decided to switch to four-space identation, but still not tabs...  
(Except in Makfiles..)

Personally I don't like tab characters because eight spaces are too wide for 
my taste.  Editors usually let you configure how wide that is, but when I 
look at the file outside the editor, I want it to look the same way as it 
does inside the editor.

(That's also why I also try -- maybe not always succeed but at least try -- 
to keep the the lines shorter than screen width.)

My two cents... ;-)
