I think fancy custom ligatures are actively un-helpful when trying to demonstrate something about code to a wide audience. Is it a custom operator? Is it a fancy codepoint like APL or Julia? Is it a pre-processor macro?
Personally, I don't like them in my editor either, but if you want to use one that's fine. But they're pretty confusing when encountering in code online.
