After using the alignment to keyword style for several years I’ve grown to like it a lot (and it seems others are enjoying it as well http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2925028/how-do-you-assign-a-variable-with-the-result-of-a-if-else-block). I’m perfectly fine with alignment to statement becoming the default (although the change of this default would be fairly visible/disruptive, since as it stands keyword alignment is the only supported style and I guess most Rubyists using Emacs employ it). 


I really wouldn’t advise changing the default alignment in this case. The current default is “right” for many if not most existing users.

But +1 for there being options. :-)
