Yup, it looks wrong. But it would look even more wrong, if anything, with only spaces; you CANNOT line stuff out in a non-monospaced font, period. Except with tabs, but if you do that, you're dependent on tab stops, which is a big nono. Which brings us back to: It is not possible to line stuff out

I don't understand the tabs v. spaces war. There's clearly a right answer: Tabs for indents. Spaces for spacing. Rule #1: A tab character can never occur in any source file, unless the previous character is (A) a tab, (B) the start of the file, or (C) a newline. Tabs anywhere else are by definiti
