Three spaces fares horribly in this analysis. I wonder why the aversion for three? Are odd numbers inherently less appealing?

It's not a power of two!

But really, I recently worked on a project where we used 3 spaces, and it's works quite well. Not too little, not too much.

I can't remember why I've never considered it before..

I will try out three space on my next project.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

You must be confusing me with someone else

It's a humorous quote from the Simpsons.
When I started out (in C in 1997) I learned doing 3 spaces. That's why I try to get used to 4 (or even 8?) but in reality I still like the 3 most :).
