So what is your fav font
I was constantly changing fonts for a long period. Once I tried Input Mono, I noticed I stopped changing. All of a sudden I felt at home, with no desire to change, I guess. Been using it for the last six or seven years or so. (I'm actually using the variant called Input Mono Narrow.)

why should I use it?
You should use whatever you feel works best for you. Here's a great site to preview programming fonts: https://www.programmingfonts.org/

(Here's an interactive preview of my font settings.)

until you turn 40 and those reading things with plastic in them prove necessary.

@Sandman I''ve been wondering about that profile photo : evidently it proves that that font is creating that "what the heck is ?that? eye posture"....

Screen cap 2 #1......

This is also very good font: JetBrains Mono
Love this one! Very easy for the eyes and although it demands some getting used to, the ligatures ( A ligature is a character consisting of two or more joined symbols ) are great.
Has been my programmers font for almost a year now in all my IDEs.

example of ligatures: >= becomes
