I like my deja vu sans but I wish it had a slashed zero.

Try the Droid Sans Mono variant with slashed zero. http://blog.cosmix.org/2009/10/27/a-slashed-zero-droid-sans-...

Thank you for this. I think this variant might tear me away from my long-time favorite, Inconsolata. It seems very close, yet even more readable. I love it.

IBM 3278 terminal font. Found no scalable version, so I had to make my own: https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font

that's a great job reproducing the font, although I'm having too much trouble with the l1I on that to use it regularly

Thanks. You can always play with FontForge and make your own version. Just fork it.

I love Panic Sans that comes with Coda. I ripped it out of the package of the trial version and installed it on my system.

Kinda odd to not include Menlo, the default font in Xcode. Not sure that's my favorite (and I've gotten a lot less picky about programming fonts over the years) but it seems an odd omission.

I use a variant called Meslo, which gives you better control over the line spacing:
