I feel like proportional fonts make sense for me when coding in lisps. Not sure why.

  I really wonder why, because alignment is one of the core things in lisp code style. Take this trivial snippet: (let ((foo 1) (bar 2)) (print foo) (print bar)) The (print ...) statements should just be indented two spaces, so you don't need a monospaced font for that, but the bindings should be aligned... "(let (" in a proportional font generally won't have the same width as 6 spaces. How do you deal with this?
