Hi Julien,

Glad to hear that. Let us know if any problems with this turn up.

Personally I tried out org-indent mode a few months ago, and haven't
turned it off yet. I quite like some aspects of the way it feels "alive"
-- e.g. when I re-execute a src block, I get a visual indicator that it
has finished when the results line quickly ducks to the left and then
back to the right again.
