It's certainly some progress that GitHub now follows .editorconfig! But now that they have the ability to render tabs with different numbers of spaces, I wish they could have changed the default to four spaces while they were at it. Aside from the Linux kernel, not too many people really like eight-column tabs. I've always omitted the indent_size and tab_width settings from my .editorconfig files that specified tabs, because I wanted to let people view the code in their preferred default indentation size instead of one I specified. (As I've mentioned too many times in this thread, I follow an indentation-only style with no column alignment, so you can view the code at any tab width without breaking the formatting.) Now, just to make GitHub give a reasonable code listing, I'm having to add indent_size=4 to all my .editorconfig files. That's not a terrible thing, but I really would prefer to leave the choice up to the viewer instead of forcing 4-character tabs.
