I'm not arguing here if `python-mode.el' is right or wrong.

However, for me at least, the greatest virtue of Python is that one can
write it legibly, and maintainability mainly results from legibility.

Being easier or harder to maintain with this or that editor is rather
irrelevant, if legibility is at stake.  A lot of people are using lesser
editors anyway, and do all their alignment "by hand".

I do see the smiley.  Yet, if people use an editor which is more helpful
on the side of legibility, it's not limitative, but plain good for them!
