    Usually no, I much rather use stuff like Mono or Terminal or Lucida Console

    But i recently discovered I'm using Menlo on Atom (default font)

    @aryathe lol. I just tried to think of the least fitting don't for coding and said that for lols lol.

    I recently started using Fira Code. I don't think it makes anything easier (Hell, it actually makes some things a real bitch) but I like the way it looks.

    Nope. I want to see every single character as-is in my code. Ligatures are super messy in my brain and throw me off a lot

    @endor So true. No matter how nicely the editor handles the keystrokes around ligatures, they just feel that bit off to me. Every character should stand alone imho.

    @PaladinRevenant I used fira but a lot of symbols were missing like # and ? And & for example. I trashed it right away. And it didn't even look anything like the screenshots of it.

    Ligatures look really nice in Haskell, I use Fira code with that

    I haven't for ages but have just started using Fira code font and that's looking rather nice.
