Over the last 10-15 years or so, I’ve tried so many of these new fonts but always just end up back to DejaVu Sans Mono Bold. Now that my eyes are getting older, it works even better.

On a Mac, Menlo looks nearly identical.

I'm the same, except I stick with Consolas, rather than DejaVu.

But it almost feels like trying out new fonts is busywork...

Consolas is (for me) one of those rare fonts that I find better in every aspect than any of its competitors.
Haha same. I've tried so many as well... Inconsolata, Fira Code, etc. Always end up back with Menlo.
Thanks so much for the validation! I really tried to love new fixed with fonts but they all look horrible compared to OSX default. Glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't like the kool aid
Same but Mononoki.
