Because I don't align anything past the initial structure-based indentation level, it doesn't matter whether I use spaces or tabs, as long as I don't mix them (I use spaces exclusively, but used to use tabs exclusively). However, had you done your alignment with tabs, it wouldn't have helped. A different tab width for me would also make your code misaligned.
