I'd say yeah, I bought PragmataPro because it's a work of art and has great ligature support. Operator Mono is another popular choice.

In terms of ligature support, as a free alternative there is FiraCode... https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

Yeah, Fira Code is an excellent font, and it is something I have used in the past. PragmataPro looked prettier to my eyes so I bought it, that's all. In fact, it's linked as an alternative on that Github page.

The condensed look and lack of interlinear spacing of PPro are a nice bonus, not that there aren't other condensed fonts. I suppose for intl use PPro might be nice too since it has 9000+ glyphs, and the dev is still adding more.

Iosevka as well, which has custom builds (on of which is aimed at making it as like pragmata pro as possible and it is damn close).

Gorgeous font, bit of a bugger to build but once you get it working hours of tinkering ;)

One big problem with Fira Code is its lack of italics.

I bought FF Kievit back in the day because it was the most beautiful thing I had ever saw. Now everything on the web is Proxima Nova and it is a boring, boring place.
