I guess you could set a line width guide to make the code more 
readable. My issue with 4 space indents is in the best case 
scenario, you end up with a large rectangular block of white 
space running straight down the left hand side of the 
function/struct/class/whatever, and you can get these side-ways 
mountains of white space where you have to scroll to the right to 
actually see the code.

Some time ago I used to use tabs (yikes!) to delimit my code 
until I took a terrible contract job. The only good thing that 
came out of it was that the client insisted that the code be 
2-space delimited, which I didn't even know was a thing. Lol! 
After that job I don't do fixed cost contracts, and I indent code 
with 2 spaces.
