I fall back on the fact that nearly all of the tooling in the universe assumes either 2 or 4 spaces, or at most 8 spaces if you're some weird Linux kernel hacker.
I do actually sympathize. I think it's the wrong decision. But if I ever start converting some more of my code to 3-space indentation I'm going to experiment with indenting overflowed long lines with just a single space (rather than the double indent of 4 that I use now).

I see this debate as evidence that nobody has looked at match types yet.

I tweeted about match types a couple of weeks ago. They're fantastic, but lack the allure of syntax.
