What you presented indeed has no alignment spaces, so all-tabs approach works. The thing is, there are codebases that use "my" line breaking, and with no editor that handles that case correctly, tabs are just no-go. > If your method name grows or shrinks, the alignment in your example needs to be fixed whereas with simple indentation there's no such need. I gladly accept this drawback, for the sake of situations when a linebreak is necessary, but the argument list is just too short to be split it into separate lines like in your example. (The necessity is a matter of taste, obviously.) I admit, these situations are rare, but they happen from time to time, so I simply don't use tabs.
