For what it's worth, I tend to use space-tabbing, indent of 1 for C,
indent of 10 for assembler (I do some stuff in 65C02 assembler).

Traditionalists (or at least, I, speaking for
myself) use tabs in
their C, C++, and shell code and *must* use tabs in their Makefiles.
Yes in
Makefiles, otherwise I prefer 4 spaces per stop.
The Python world is different; there the use of
spaces and a tab stop
of 4 characters is common.
I recall two colleagues working on the same
Python-based project. One used a
3-column tab; the other used 8-column spaces. Few fireworks as the other
simply filtered.
