You use what works, and works in as many places as possible. If I was to GPL a chapter or so and publish it on dA, it'd help if I could have the two formatted more or less the same.
There's also the small fact that I write using a Linux equivalent of Notepad, so there's no other way to tell where my own paragraphs begin and end but to manually indent. Its easy enough to strip out in the finished manuscript before setting up the style sheet and all that. It also makes "nuclear formatting removal" a lot easier since the formatting was never there to begin with. Just start a blank document and re-import each .txt file in turn.
