I actually did the same tab/space thing for awhile. But my editors didn't really have a native understanding of it so it became manual editing of invisible characters, so now I just avoid that style of alignment regardless of tabs or spaces. Ie, instead of:foobar(aaaaa, bbbbb, ccccc, dddd, eeeee, fffff); I'll just do: foobar( aaaaa, bbbbb, ccccc, dddd, eeeee, fffff ); Not as pretty, but it works, it makes things simpler, Plus it avoids the former style's tendency to wind up with gigantically-sized indents.
I recently watch the Going Native talk by Chandler. He talks about the one of the biggest problem they have at Google. It's not the language (C++) itself, but it's formatting whitespace. Short, they have a tool for that now.
