It also creates a minor annoyance when you get patches from users that created them in an ide where spaces per tab is often set equal to indent level.

This seems to be common in the Windows world. It has the advantage that you can adjust indentation width according to personal preference by changing a display parameter (the tab width) without changing any source files.

Unfortunately, it's incompatible with the Unix tab-is-8-column
"standard".
