I would like to, but I hate tabs (due to the jumps it causes in horizontal cursor navigation, and also due to the nonlinear behavior when inserting/deleting characters preceding a tab in a line), so I would need an editor that widens spaces at the start of line to get sufficient visual indentation at four spaces.

Interesting. I find that the usual four spaces give me the ideal indent length in proportional fonts.
in Verdana 4 space indentation is about 3 ordinary characters wide. I find that perfect. code indented with 2 spaces is more problematic though.
