For some people this might be great but for me this is a total sensorial overload, I tried to use some of these fonts in the past and I just loose track of the code.

Did anyone experience the same in the begging and grew to actually like these fonts or was it always a "love at first sight" experience for you that use them?

There was definitely a lot of "whoa!" and distraction in the beginning, especially while typing and watching things transform.

Later I loaded up some JS code I was working in earlier but without ligatures as the terminal I was using didn't support them. It definitely felt oddly verbose, especially the arrow functions.

I can still go either way, but it's mostly lack of ligature support that keeps from adopting it wholesale. Changing one way or another is a tad disruptive.
