I'd bet most of the code ever written gets styled however the IDE du jour decides to by default.

If some IDEs decided to switch to tab indent by default, people would suddenly love tabs.

I think this definitely applies to xcode, I use tabs everywhere but for xcode it just prints a lot of spaces and I am used to it.
