I'm the most whiny opinionated person on the planet and even I find this stupid. Why would you care about what code looks like on other people's screens? If it works for them, it works for them. Christ. I hate this industry sometimes. There are serious problems and then there's people writing argument bait about ligatures.

Although I predict you will eventually burn yourself on this hot mess, my main concern is typography that faces other human beings. So if you’re preparing your code for others to read—whether on screen or on paper—skip the ligatures.
