Am I the only one who programs in a proportional font? It's helpful for the same reason it's helpful in print: the letters are more distinguished from each other so the brain recognizes them more quickly, and you can fit more text into the same space.
I use a modified version of Georgia which adds a slash through the zero and changes the l (ell) to look less like the 1 (one).
