One developer's 'river' is another's 'grid'. Being able to scan down quickly makes it easier to compare lines against each other. That's not something you do when reading a novel or a newspaper article, but it's something you do all the time when reading code.

Maybe I'm a weirdo. I find it massively distracting. About the only time column-alignment is helpful is when scanning for typos, but that's handled pretty capably in other ways by most editors more sophisticated than Text Edit.
