Well I'm saying that it does still line up in a reasonable sense, at least from the perspective of someone that would use a proportional font at all and isn't looking for a grid.

It's important to note that I'm not comparing monospace versus proportional. I'm saying that "formatting 1 with proportional font" isn't really worse than "formatting 2 with proportional font". Both of them are going to have problems from someone that really likes monospacing.

"If you stop doing things which derive benefits from monospaced fonts, then you can get away with a proportional font."

No, that's the opposite of my point.

"If you already decided to have a proportional font, you don't need to stop doing any things."

My argument is that "need to stop doing X" is not true for either kind of font.
