At first, it might look too square compared to Hack, but in a short time, I really liked it and still using on both Sublime Text and MonoDevelop. Just give it a try.

In any case, fonts are the kind of thing that I generally screw around with when the one I'm using gets screwed up for some reason (be it a new box not being set up with the right fonts, or the X11 / font settings being broken, screwing with aliasing and whatnot). As long as the font doesn't change and still works, I really don't notice it. And in the rare cases where I look at picking a new one, they all end up bugging me in various ways, and ultimately, I find that it pretty much just comes down to what I'm used to and not anything that's actually objectively better or worse about any particular font. If it looks different from what I'm used to, it bugs me. And if I switch for whatever reason, I'll get used to the new one eventually, at which point changing it at that point would bug me. So, personally, I just don't mess around with fonts normally. - Jonathan M Davis
