I've been using it since about a year -- I love it. The Serif/Sans Serif versions are also quite good.

Proportional coding font? For the non discerning coder?

Thank you for this! I'm not adventurous enough for proportional fonts, but the monospaced Input looks quite nice. And I'd not heard of it before. I'll definitely give it a spin.

I was using proportional fonts for a couple weeks. A problem I ran into was that in coding styles that I typically work with, you need to align stuff with spaces to match some artifact on a previous line (e.g. an opening paren of a function call). At that point you pretty much need the space to be as wide as any non-whitespace character that might appear there, otherwise things end up looking wrong. This is what basically killed it for me. a) I don't like how it looks. And b), I don't want to have patches bounced over formatting trivia that I don't notice. (Edit: typos.)

It's not just proportional. I've used Input Mono as my goto text editor font for many years now.

I've been using proportional for a few years now and can never go back to typewriter fonts (code just looks wrong). This looks really nice, I was looking for a proportional coding font. I'll have to give it a shot! Too bad it doesn't include programmer ligatures, I've been looking for a proportional font that included those (I tried hacking them in myself but couldn't figure out the font hacking tool chain).
