Do most editors do that by default? If so, that's great -- if not, it's just a downside for tabs, if you need to hit enter, backspace out the automatic indents and then press space 30 times rather than just hit enter and have it aligned automatically.

vim seems to auto-insert tabs when you hit enter mid-function definition, at least with standard settings.

That seems like a problem with Vim, then... Typically I don't align at all, so I'm not familiar with editor behavior for alignment; I prefer to just indent one level deeper.
