since there are no {}'s then you end up with (with 4 spaces):
blahblah(xxx)
blah2whatever(yyy)
blah3boo(zzz)
wootwoot(x)
boobooboo(7)
weee(y)
abracadabra(hey)
with 2 it just looks nicer:
blahblah(xxx)
blah2whatever(yyy)
blah3boo(zzz)
wootwoot(x)
boobooboo(7)
weee(y)
abracadabra(hey)
each indent comes out at a "visually" approximate 45 degrees due to general
font sizing. also it's far nicer on the typer if they have to indent - hit
space twice not 4 times. sure you COULD modify your editor to make tab == 4
spaces and force that BUT then you break your editor for the rest of the unix
world that has agreed on tab == 8 spaces. windows thinks tab == 4 spaces. so -
make people hit space 4 times instead of 2? why? that's a bit silly.
