At one point, I naturally came to three spaces for indenting my Lua
code, and it looked quite good.
I didn't know it was the Emacs default, and it somehow felt like
living a dangerous life, away from the familiar powers of two...
I switched to two for my current projects, but it may change again.

I use three spaces in the LuaRocks codebase, and I've seen it used in
other projects as well. It fits nicely in a language with
"end"-terminated blocks.

I prefer two spaces for a similar reason:
 if a >= b and
 b <= c then
 print( b )
 end
Using three spaces misaligns with a wrapped if-condition. Of course I try hard to follow a foreign indentation style if modifying an existing file, that's when I appreciate (bottom) modelines[1].
