If it cheers you up, I use that style. Once you get used to 'smart tabs'  
it is like using spaces. Just now and then I catch myself using tabs on  
the alignment for local variable comments:

	int foo;		// does something (tabs)
	int bar;        // something else (spaces)

Then again "tabs for indentation only" is a simple rule, that would have  
turned the tabs into spaces in this example - if editors supported it.
