such a bummer that there are different variables to control this for every mode...

Unless your workplace uses different indentation in different languages — then it becomes a feature rather than a bug :)

They could follow the same naming conventions though.

They could default to using tab-width (or c-basic-offset) unless explicitly overridden.
