I'm tinkering with a whitespace language and prefer using 1-space rather than 2. I don't really like the double character for 1 level. Is that weird?
Tabs are forbidden though I could use tabs with a (1-line) per-file code filter for the compiler to turn 1 tab into 2 spaces, and that might be easier when working with others (though I don't know how it would be seen, especially needing to change editor tab behavior).
