Lo importante es que estamos juntos.

English Translation

The important thing is that we are together.

I see both the indicative and the subjunctive with Lo importante es que; is there a difference in nuance?

I have met some native speakers who always use the indicative when saying something that they know to be true, even in sentences like this which by rule should use the subjunctive. I don’t know how widespread this is.
