I've always used two spaces since I was taught to type in third grade, but a couple of months ago, I installed Lyx, intending to start to use LaTeX. Part of the settings are that it prevents two spaces at the end of a sentence, and will literally say "two spaces disallowed" or something like that because I guess it handles spacing automatically. I pretty quickly dropped my two-space habit, and now I'm happy that I did because it gains me a teensy bit of time. Marginal gains, but still, a gain's a gain. Now, hitting the space bar twice feels unnatural and redundant.
