Alignment probably more than anything, though obviously the necessity for that depends on the language and style.

  Alignment of what?? Not left edges. Even in non-monospace fonts, every blank is the same with, same with every tab.

    Consider aligned colons, something like { a : 10, ab : 40 } If space and "b" are not the same width, that won't look great in a proportional font.
