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.)

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"....

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.
