By gnugat:

if you have a long variable name, you might break the inline consistency:

$shortName = true;
$veryLongAndVeryExplicitVariableName = false;

Horizontal alignement emphasize the wrong things by leading to read down only the left values, while ignoring the right variables. To make things worse, it forces developers to maintain it, as new assignements are added, or removed.
