I use Fira Code. Mainly because it allows you to chose ligatures if for some reason there are default ones you don't like (I really enjoy ligatures when writing code). Sadly, that works only on application level, not OS, so not all IDEs support choosing stylistic sets: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/How-to-enable-stylis...
If we are throwing font recommendations here, I favour [Monoid](https://larsenwork.com/monoid/), I love its glyphs and look. But some years ago I installed [Victor Mono](https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/) as a kind of practical joke on myself (it has _italics_, usually enabled for comments in the language you use in your editor, but of course that's up to where you want them) and I found it's actually extremely nice because of that. I now also use it on Obsidian (the other monospaced editor I use aside from VS Code/emacs)
Matthias Tellen also has an interesting take on this subject in in issue #29 for his font mononoki [0]. I love mononoki.

Am I the only one rocking with agave? Especially agave NF, it looks a bit funky (casual-looking) but it's been really easy on my eyes on not-too-high res display(34' 1440p).

Every once in a while when I get bored, I head over to Google Fonts page and download some fonts: https://fonts.google.com/?category=Monospace&subset=latin

Using Haskell is one such situation. Haskell's inequality operator is /= which someone could expect when they see ≠. Some people redefine != as a custom operator (see link), which can bring even more confusion with this ligatures.
At some point in grad school a few years ago, I was procrastinating furiously and did a deep dive into the font I would prefer for coding, terminal, etc. I ultimately landed on Meslo LGS with Nerd Font after also looking at different shells. I'm not a fan of ligature so don't care about those fonts
Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out on something better or if just the Meslo people came out with something great and haven't felt the need to promote it on the web in a few years since they are all gainfully employed.
