May I recommend Berkeley Mono (https://berkeleygraphics.com/typefaces/berkeley-mono/). It's a paid font but well worth it, given you're spending hours every day looking at it. I have found it to be excellent for the shell and editors.

I really like that font, but that price ($75) is really untenable for me. Is there any alternative?

Input Mono [1] is beautiful, and kinda looks like Berkeley Mono. It too is paid for commercial use, but it's free for personal.

I used Input for a very long time until I made my own blend of Iosevka [2] that looks very similar—just with more exotic symbols.
