I'm arguing for what he calls "Hybrid Indentation".
I'd prefer it too. My XEmacs inserts tabs for me, and I don't really
want
to learn reconfiguring it. There are more interesting problems :)
Most ppl seem to think hybrid indentation is good, but I haven't yet seen anyone give emacs/vim/indent/astyle settings to do this automatically.
As I understand it, in hybrid indentation the spaces are needed only for wrapped lines; normal lines only use tabs. Which is why I like it: normally the editor inserts tabs for me, and in the rare cases when I do need to wrap lines (which I usually avoid) I don't mind hitting space a few times so it looks decent.
