  People post code quite often, and indentation suffers quite a lot with
variable-width font, as well as general readability (delimiters are much
harder to distinguish when they are really small).
  Smileys are just plain horrible with variable-width fonts.
  Also people usually write text so that the length of the lines is
approximately the same, thus getting approximately justified paragraphs,
which are nicer to the eye. With variable-width font you probably get
much more variation in line lengths.
