Agreed. After Iosevka, other fonts have felt ... unwieldy.

Re: "SS04" d1egoaz is referencing Stylistic Set 04, illustrated here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/be5invis/Iosevka/master/im...

In addition to the original version of the font above, there is a patched version with powerline icons (and much more) built in: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-... which is very handy for emacs/vim modelines.

For me, it's the fact that I can create a custom build of Iosevka with preferred weights that look good in the different font rendering systems: Native macOS, Electron (VS Code), Java (IntelliJ).

All need different weights to end up looking about the same on the same system.

And then being able to turn on/off ligatures, tweak some glyphs.

It's hard to give that up.

I've even switched to using the proportional Iosevka Aile for programming, here's someone else's screenshot from the last time it was mentioned on HN:
