If I have them separated by big comment blocks, chances are that I've grouped the logic according to some pattern. In that case, I like being forced to comment out code in chunks as it ensures I'm only debugging the critical stuff. That’s true, Luc, but is that really a problem?

And really, what developer worth his salt uses anything BUT fixed width? The only exception I've found thus far is <a href="http://notepad-plus.wiki.sourceforge.net/FAQ" rel="nofollow">the guy who writes Notepad Plus Plus.</a> Very true, however not every editor has tab adjustment capabilities, but they all display fixed-width fonts.

You can have 2 spaces wide tabs this way too. it renders better with non-fixed-width fonts About tabs vs. spaces indentation :
