Nothing beats Iosevka Term (Slab) for me. It nails so many details for me I can't imagine switching ever again.

Wow that one was new to me, looks pretty good.

I avoid it like the plague because of ligatures, although I must admit other than that I enjoyed in my (admittedly short) experience with JetBrains IDEs. Have never tested them elsewhere.

Why don't you just disable them? Or does your editor not give you the option?

They offer a "JetBrains Mono NL" variant where the NL is for No-Ligatures. I use it daily on Eclipse.

I wasn't aware that you could disable them, I thought this was handled entirely by the font and not by the editor. Living and learning. Might try JetBrains Mono again without ligatures this time, after I finish my trial of IBM Plex.

Ah, no, I phrased that in a rather callous way. I'm sorry – my apologies.

If you do decide to give it a try, I hope your editor makes it easy to configure (since they really run the gamut) and that you have another typeface to enjoy!

Don't know about best, but it's pretty great. That's what I've been using for the last one year.

For low-DPI, I haven't found anything that beats Lucida Console.
