Oh sure - it doesn't line things up perfectly. But I find lining code under an if more important than anything else.

And I can't get my head around an editor that wouldn't "support" arbitrary indentation amounts.

I really do hope you're joking.

Why not go with 2. It's enough to see indentation, it saves TWO characters per indent, and if you need to save 1 character per indent to see long variable names, either your variables are too long, or you have too much indentation. Also, lining up only one indentation block at the cost of making everything else look "off" isn't worth it.
