<p>Taken from Linux documentation (<a href="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rdunlap/linux-docs/.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/CodingStyle;h=1875e502f87205a1dcaf268d0af78127ee336144;hb=HEAD">Doc*/CodingStyle</a>) Chapter 1.</p>
<p>I think this explains very well the idea behind the 8-chars tabs "movement".</p>
<blockquote>
There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.
