I wish it explained better about syntax-driven indentation. The key
issue, I think, is that syntax-driven indentation can usually be
configured to the user's liking. And once that has happened, it is a
useful time-saver.
(Myself, I just mostly adjust my coding style to what syntax-driven
indentation suggests. I did change the standard indentation offset
from 2 to 4, but that was it.)
Another detail that might be useful is the variable
c-tab-always-indent. I think the default value is true, but if you
set it to false then TAB in the middle of a line will do like M-i,
which is probably what people like.
