This has annoyed me as well in the past.  I took a different route in
the solution.  just-one-space would collide with my finger memory when
inserting something in the middle.  Instead I chose to give the tab key
an additional function

(defun tab-command ()
  "Do the right thing for the tab key."
  (interactive)
  (or (expand-abbrev)
      (indent-according-to-mode)))

My tab-command does in fact do many more things depending on context.
This is the abridged version. :)
