--- Comment #11 from Aryeh Gregor <[email protected]>  2008-12-24

Is there any good reason that anything should actually need to line up in MW
text boxes?  Templates and tables, maybe, but only a minority of editors work
extensively with those.  More often than not, for complicated templates and
tables, each item (cell/parameter) is put on a new line anyway.  The only
argument I can see here is that it might cause fights as Safari users break
other people's pretty-printing without noticing that it was supposed to be
aligned in the first place, but this presentational difference has been the
status quo since *forever*, and apparently no such fights have broken out.

I don't see why we should be overriding browser defaults here.  Proportional
fonts are ugly.  Safari made the aesthetic choice to make textareas
proportional, and its users are used to that.  We shouldn't override that
decision (or any other platform/browser convention) without a very clear
reason.

I'm reopening again.  I'd like to not reclose until we get word from Brion or
Tim or someone.
