100% agree. No editor comes with such font used as default. If a user wants to add fancy ligatures, she has to set it up by herself. It is very unlikely for such person to forget she is using ligatures in the middle of coding. Also, text editors put the caret to a proper position if the selected text breaks a ligature in the middle.
I personally see no problem using Fira Code aside from 10 seconds long brain hiccups every once in while (once per year, maybe rarer). I've been using it since 2015, on multiple editors including Xcode, Android Studio, iTerm2, Sublime Text, Atom, VS Mac, VS Code and IntelliJ. I can't even remember which one of these still doesn't support the proper rendering of ligatures, and yet no issues for me so far.
