Well, no. The idea of "just use tabs" isn't have a different tab width
per language, but a different tab width per user.

You work in a different environment than I do.  for me, tab width
varies from one project to another (sometimes even in the same
language).  I don't get to pick just one tab width.

But if you use only tabs for indentation, the tab width setting simply does not matter. I'm in favour of using only tabs.

There is a disadvantage only if you try to align something which is NOT an indentation level, e.g. when there are big string constants or list constants etc.
