It's the internal standard at Google, but almost everywhere else (I know of) uses 4 spaces. JSLint doesn't care. I "grew up" on the Adobe Flex coding conventions and I like 4 spaces from a readability point of view. I also like an 80-ish character line length, for the same reason. I like JSLint as it is very strict on how you write JS and that strictness (which is not part of the language) helps prevent errors and makes it easier to work together on one codebase.
