I'm for not aligning parameters... I've never seen the benefit to be 
worth the trade-off in space/tab issues (esp. using arrow keys). If a 
line runs over, I just ident all lines after the first by an extra 
tab.

And someone else mentioned only using tabs for initial indents, and 
then spaces for any idealized positioning after that. I don't have a 
problem with that, if alignment is really necessary (like in a really 
complex if condition).

Me too, though there are times when you can't help it. Another reason 
I prefer the tabs to be a short as possible, but then sometimes I'll 
adjust my editor to use tabstops=2 before I print to make it fit.

No! Don't go over to the darkside!!

(I've never even used vim, just regular vi.)
