This only affects you reading code on MY computer. Your computer can display my code in whatever font you wish. This is much to do about nothing. It's simply a presentation layer, and it matters most to the person doing the coding and should be whatever they choose that makes them perform better. For me, ligatures were a big improvement. They shortened code so more is displayed on the screen with no alteration in meaning and made other things just more obvious, intentional and stand out. And when I upload it to github or anywhere else, it's displayed in a traditional font with no ligatures because it's totally nondestructive and has nothing to do with the actual code - only how it appears (to me).
