+1 for using solely spaces for indentation, stopwidth/tabstop = 2.

A technical detail: C indentation and tab stops are separate and independent. Programmer's editors, including Emacs and vim, can automatically do any C indentation you like -- 2, 3, 5, 8 -- and use whatever combination of tabs and spaces is needed to do it.

In Emacs at least, in C mode, when you hit the tab key, that doesn't mean "insert a tab character". It means "put this line where it should be".
