The alternative is not to configure indentation at all, but instead to
use the defaults, which are quite reasonable.

No, they're not. They're only so in major modes that set several of the related variables locally (e.g. ruby-mode, and python-mode as I see now).

Speaking of JavaScript, the defaults do not conform to the current convention (2 spaces, no tabs).

I'm not 100% sure what's the split in C and C++ communities, but Java favors spaces as well.

Even folks who want tabs have to configure stuff, because of our `tab-width' default (which is indeed something we cannot change now): http://stackoverflow.com/a/21788651/615245
