Programming in variable spaced fonts is weird but understandable. Programming in a font which actively lies to you about the presence or absence of spaces is batshit crazy.
I agree with you about tabular alignment though. I do think it's stupid that "readable" code involves emulating desktop publishing metaphors with arbitrary numbers of spaces.
