You are not the only one. I've used proportional fonts exclusively for 10-15 years and will never go back to monospaced. In the past I used Verdana, Georgia, and Trebuchet MS.

This is the best UI for decision-making I've seen lately. Font choosing is a pain and this works. I ended choosing the font i know (roboto mono) but wau, before this it was because always like that. Now i know that's the one i like ^^
I see using this UI for business decision-making for 5-10 options
Would love to hear your thoughts or anyone else's.
(Fun aside: I ended up implementing the Ford Johnson algorithm to minimize the number of comparisons, explanation here: https://github.com/decidedlyso/merge-insertion-sort )
