If I f.ex make a beautiful table in org-mode:
|-----+-----+-------+--------+-------------------------|
| foo | bar | xyzzy | hukarz | |
| qux | | corge | grault | garply waldo fred plugh |
| baz | | | | |
|-----+-----+-------+--------+-------------------------|
, it's not so beautiful anymore if I send it in an email.
Is it not possible to force these spacings as space?
I guess this is gnus fault, but I'm not really sure.

Looks perfect to me. I'm using fixed-width font in my email
client. Changing tabs to spaces won't solve bad looking tables because
most people use variable-width fonts. Nothing you can do about that.
You can also use mu4e and compose emails in an Org minor-mode
(includes babel and everything!) and convert emails to HTML when sent
(and include a plain-text copy too). I think that would be the best
bet of having a table look good to the recipient. See "Org Mode
Example" section at bottom of
http://www.brool.com/index.php/using-mu4e
-k.

Yeah, it seems it's because of non mono font, but I didn't think it
would be that drastic difference.
, but I confirmed it, by copying something I sent to a person with a
gmail account into my emacs and it was perfect again.
I guess this issue doesn't really have a solution, other than sending it
as html.

Terrible choice: HTML emails are evil. Monospace fonts are illegal.

"New evidence suggests that Manning, Snowden, and Assange each used a
powerful tool called monospace fonts. Unlike the fonts innocent
Americans are familiar with, the 'monospace' fonts preferred by hackers
are most associated with cybercrime."

It looks fine in my monospaced font---isn't it just a matter of formatting when
you paste it into your preferred email client?
