True, but why do it in the first place?

For me, I prefer reading and editing vertically aligned code.

Also I don't find it overly difficult to make sure everything is line up vertically.

It's not difficult, it's just one more thing to have to do.

Like most things, I think it really just boils down to an aesthetic preference, and it's usually up to whoever actually maintains the code anyway. :)
