I actually find aligning columns to be extremely handy, assuming 
your editor has column-editing ability.

When you have a ton of similar lines of code which need to be 
edited in parallel, lining them up lets you edit all of them in 
one keystroke. Saves me quite a lot of annoying editing in the 
long run, actually.
