Let's pretend we aren't going to argue Tabs vs. Spaces. Is 4 spaces really more legible than 2 spaces? It seems to be the default everywhere I look, and I suspect it has to do with Tab size.
I've always preferred two spaces.

Either works for me.
It's when I have to open up some C or Java that has mixed spacing that I start spewing profanities.
Am I the only person that Bracket Pair Colorizer just annoys and distracts?
I'm not sure if I should set violent colors or something, but any time I try it it only harms me.
I just have
"editor.renderWhitespace": "boundary"and the default indent guides and it seems enough for me.Ditto for Indenticator and indent-rainbow.
indent-rainbow also doesn't autodetect the tab settings, which are a builtin VSCode thing, why this :v
I always use 3 spaces!
Whatever the project and team have agreed upon!
Oh god, that question will break us all.
Golden Ratio, the deeper you go, the more space, as well as above and below.
Until your code turns around on itself, then you're next level...
Does depend on the font though, monospace, bold etc.
I prefer four because its much easier to quickly scan for what braces match and where blocks end and begin.
Deeply nested code is usually to be avoided, so I don't miss the space is takes up.
Fibonacci Indentation or nothing.
I'd vote for inverted Fibonacci Identation! 😂
That's amazing!
Most often I use 2 spaces, but it really depends on the language. And I auto refactor tabs to spaces ;)
We will argue 4 vs 2 spaces until we are blue in the face. God forbid someone to suggest a compromise of 3 spaces, for they will be murdered before they finish their sentence.
3 spaces is the most logical compromise. But because humans are illogical, we'll never see a 3 spaced code file.
how dare you suggest we do something that is not a multiple of 2?? /s
we tried that at a previous gig; made everyone unhappy and uncomfortable. if it's code, IMHO, it's a tab (4 spaces!); if it's markup or documentation or config, two is perfect.
I bet you set the TV volume to odd numbers.
I use the Fibonacci sequence to set my volume.
I think you'll find the volume should be changed in increments of 5... 😉
The reason volume is adjusted in increments of 3dB is bc changes less than 3dB are imperceptible to the human ear.
3 spaces
This one, officer, right here
