cascadia-code
This is a fun, new monospaced font that includes programming ligatures and is designed to enhance the modern look and feel of the Windows Terminal.
This is a nice overview. I don't share the author's intense distaste for serifs. In my search I ended up on Cascadia Code, which wasn't part of this comparison: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code

I thought it would be silly or I would hate it, but the comic sans like nature of Fantasque Sans Mono really surprised me and worked well for coding/IDE use (especially in Python): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

Tossing this one in here as it's a combination of Isoveska & PragmataPro: https://github.com/shytikov/pragmasevka
Been using it for a bit and I've really fallen in love with it.

Like the author, I always thought IBM's Plex Mono had a bit too much character for a UI font, but I’m a big fan of IA's modifications: https://github.com/iaolo/iA-Fonts/tree/master/iA%20Writer%20...
Part of the project are some interesting duospace and quad-space versions that I probably wouldn’t use for code, but are great for editing general text.

For my mono font, I converted the Atkinson Hyperlegible[0] font into mono, and have been using it as my terminal and editor font for over a year now. It's pretty janky, but it's surprisingly lasted longer than many of the other fonts I've tried over the years.

I tried Scientifica as a joke, and have ended up using it both in the terminal and editor: https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica
The blockiness just works for me. Reminds me of old DOS fonts. Coworkers hate looking at my screen though.

I'm a big fan of Lilex and use it currently: https://github.com/mishamyrt/Lilex. I think it looks quite a bit like Inconsolata which I used to use a long time ago.

Came here to say this. I didn't like any available variable width font for coding though so I created my own based on helvetica.

This is actually a problem with any font that has an 'r' without a base.
For example, Andale Mono: https://i.imgur.com/PeLZrj4.png
Fira Code and others do an ugly thing with 'r' that is a huge point of contention to the point where people can't stand the crazy 'r' of Fira Code.
I am not joking. There is a thread on Github that don't like abnormal 'r': https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/601
This is a fundamental trade off between aesthetics of the char itself vs. the aesthetics of spacing between chars. It comes down to personal preference and fits the "boring" description from Berkeley Mono marketing page.

Seeing as everybody's using this space to plug their favourite font, and the one I use hasn't been mentioned yet: I'm partial to Generic Mono II (http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-75172.html & https://github.com/organicplanning/hackedfonts). It has slashed zeroes and, with a reduced character spacing, just looks nice and otherwise doesn't distract from what I'm doing. Though it's coverage outside of the Latin character set leaves a bit more to be desired.
