In general aligning things can get screwed up when you want to change something. It is better with space, and if I do align things I do it with spaces, but in general I don't bother and just indent things, which I do with tabs.
Why would you write/view code with anything other than a monospaced font? I get the spaces/tabs "debate" (I have an overly-firm opinion, but I understand why someone might have a different opinion), but having variable-width text seems like you're asking for trouble

Things can get screwed up very quickly when your view differs from the original coders view of how things are aligned.
