According to

http://atroche.org/post/30994290348/javascript-indentation

the most widely used (and recommended) indentation in Javascript is two
spaces.

`js-indent-level' defaults to 4.  Would it make sense to change this?

Quite a few programmers dislike 2 as basic offset; see

Different people have different preferences, true.
How does that make using the most popular value as default a bad idea?

You'll have to point these good points out, because I didn't see any
there.

Some people there say "use tabs", but I assume those are vi users.  :-)

I'd be happy to see that default change.
