I tried for a while to use variable width, but I do a lot of data driven work in Lua and find I make 2 dimensional grids quite frequently, and unfortunately, there's no good way to line them up with a variable width font in a text editor if the field sizes change row to row.
I suppose one answer would be to have a smarter editor that could imbed tables, ala a word processor, but that's certainly not a workflow I'm used to.
