Like when you want to arrange text aligned in columns. What aligns properly
for you (using a proportional font) won't necessarily be properly aligned
for someone using a mono-spaced font (and vice-versa).

Granted, most of the time it doesn't matter, but I've seen many posts to
newsgroups (especially Excel) where this difference has made the post nearly
unreadable.
