It's probably because it is very, very obvious to everyone. Well, everyone
who thought about FAQs and docs and such. I, for one, am a god-forsaken
dutch atheist (and damned proud of it) but there is one thing I have a holy
belief in... Tabs are 8 spaces. I still fail to see why anyone would think
differently. 

(Granted, though, the FAQ and the tutorial should be suitably indoctrinating
to convert all those unholy sinners up front;)
