Why are people still using mono fonts in 2023? There are very few reasons not to love proportional fonts in your IDE.
- tasn 3y agoIt makes code indentation much more clear. Though what are the advantages of using non mono for coding? Are there clear advantages for that?
- janaagaard 3y agoIf you are only indenting the start of your lines (and not inside the lines), a proportional font is actually completely unproblematic.
- janaagaard 3y agoI am still looking for a proportional font where I can clearly distinguish to single quotes from a double quote, and distinguish a single quote followed by a double quote from the double followed by a single. Do you have some suggestions?
- Sugimot0 3y agoFor IDE i can't speak but, they're necessary for terminal/textual ui's like vim, emacs, kakoune, helix, lazygit, etc.
