I work in a (partially) Java shop that mandates the use of tabs as
indentation for all C-like languages (which is Java and C++, for the
most part.), where one can get in trouble for checking-in code with
inconsistent tabulation.

Many of us also use Emacs, and I'm sure it would be quite a disruption
for indent-tabs-mode to be made nil by default.

As of late, our superiors have also been trying to convince us to move
to NetBeans, from the current mix of Emacs and IntelliJ products.  If
Emacs were found to be the culprit behind a large influx of bad code, it
could potentially turn that from advice into a mandate, which doesn't
quite appeal to me.
