Meta, but I've personally switched to a proportional font for my coding. Heresy, I know, but it feels wrong to have to look at code as if I'm coding on an 80 column terminal in 1960.

Input Sans is great:

Great, but it unfortunately breaks vertical alignment with elastic tabstops solution still missing everywhere

If you use spaces for vertical alignment, then yes things don't vertically align.

But I've sacrificed vertical alignment for a more human-friendly code appearance :)
