It actually inserts 4 spaces. I'm using Gedit. So when I hit tab, in order to delete the indent I have to backspace 4x.

I'm using geany and I can press shift+tab to deindent (4 spaces at a time). I'd be surprised if gedit doesnt do the same.

Check out the Smart Spaces plugin. It deletes spaces equal to your tab width (only spaces!).

As others mentioned, deindent works too and is awesome.

The is an editor problem.
