Comparison with Fira Mono at 12px: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/140470

I'll stick with Fira.

Is it just me or is screenshot comparison useless on mobile?

I desperately want to find a new code font to love but I always return to Consolas.

On OSX put the ttf's into your ~/Library/Fonts directory. I've switched, Atom looks subtly different, but I'm surprisingly comfortable with it. Looks good.

I'm loving it. It makes a great terminal font as well.

Ditto. On linux I fancy terminus though.

I hate that 'i' glyph but otherwise looks nice. I'm more interested in editor's colorscheme in example though. Really nice, anyone has some information?

Same situation here, except that it's Courier New that I always return to.

Nice. Reminds me of http://input.fontbureau.com , a little bit softer.

I just found Input yesterday, and I really like it. Hack doesn't come out well in Emacs (letters are way too spaced), so I'll stick with Input.
