So when things don't line up... That's a feature? The reason I use indentation is so there's consistency between lines. When you use spaces, the semantics of indentation are maintained. If you don't like the indentation settings, just change them in the v-linter.
Tabs represent a logical indent, not a physical one, you choose how the mapping to physical indent is.

Why would things ever not line up? There is 1/2 tabs indentation and it shows up as 1,3,7,8,42/2,6,14,16,84 indentation however you like it.
