Padding can be adjusted in the editor supports ET customization so you wouldn't see the space. > To be more clear on the subject: Parentheses are not operators, although > a lot of people like to treat them so in source code while they miss to > put the spaces around the real operators.[2] I know, Lazarus IDE does (or did) that.

Nope, on reopening the file, formatting is exactly like it was the last time you edited it. As for slowing you down. Using your code example, you would have had to type many spaces to align the code. ET would only need one keystroke. And as you insert more code in line above or below, all columns will shift together, whereas using spaces, you would manually have to realign all your columns. ET would bu much faster it that case. Either way, Lazarus (which is my favourite programming editor) internal editor doesn't support TabStops, so I can't implement ET anyhow.
