This is a great reason to use tabs over spaces.

It wouldn't matter when people don't adhere to standards anyway.

That everybody else uses spaces?

If the file uses tabs, at least you can choose to display the indentations as 2 spaces or 4 spaces.

If the file uses spaces, you don't get to choose.

This is my reason for preferring tabs. Plus changing indent levels is faster via arrow keys.
