I think the idea at that time was also, that with a tab only setup people
can
look at the code with 2 space, 3 space and 4 space indents, whatever suits
them best.
I like the current setup. Our company uses the same.
Most Programmers editors (and vi) can handle the 4 space tabs perfectly.
The pager less handles them also.
