Not so. It's completely logical. A single byte, per indented block
instead of some variable, arbitary number. (Files are more easily
parsable, more easily edited, less error prone, and smaller to boot.)

I don't make excuses for poor editors. A programming editor worth
anything (IE nedit) will let you define the display of tabs to
how many ever spaces you like.

And as you said a space is a space, and you're stuck with what ever
poor choice the author choose, unless go regex happy on the code... 

If you use a 'single' space, I will pray for your soul and your logical
but unreadable code. Otherwise you're going straight to hell.
