I was a bit surprised that the numbers didn’t get right-aligned:

  one      =    1
  fortyTwo =   42
  elite    = 1337

To answer your question, I tend to agree that it gets harder to read the wider the horizontal spacing is, unless the relation between the values in the same column is very important.

I, for one, like a "table-most" arrangement of text in the source code.

This layout falls apart when there is an error and the readout is a disaster, but it just goes to show: there is no perfect answer.

So I sigh and run the formatter on the code.
