I'm not sure that ligatures would be an improvement for legibility or editing code.

  I happen to like them, but the only one I'd put forth as a definite improvement is that JS/PHP's triple-equal === operator gets turned into three horizontal lines that take up more vertical space than the double-equal does. That can be the cause of subtle bugs, so I think making that distinction more obvious is a win.

    Personally, I'd probably find it easier to visually mix up the two-line and three-line versions than to mix up the two-char and three-char versions when skimming code - but to each their own.

      You still get the same three-char width, the ligature just makes it three lines tall, also.
