Emacs looks at the file being edited, and discovers the indentation mode 
already in use, and uses that.

I've come really close to using emacs a few times now, but there are 
just too many things I need to tweak, and I don't really have the time 
to research everything.

For instance, Emacs doesn't do what I want by default when using tab 
indentation and want to do line continuation. I want either:

1) additional 2 tabs on the continued line

-or-

2) tabs to indent to the right level, and spaces to fill in to line up 
vertically semi-smartly with the prior line.

I've almost got #2 working, but it isn't always smart enough to put the 
indentation where I want it, and it always seems to use tabs to line up 
the text, which means everyone needs to view my file with my tab width, 
which kind of blows away using tabs.
