Ligatures became one of my favourite features after trying out Fira Code. It felt like an obvious improvement that I was yearning for, for years.

I guess my brain likes having distinct continuous symbols to represent different operations - it reminds of of math in school & university. And I don't see a problem during editing, knowing they're made of multiple symbols.

And yes - I feel that I do struggle much more without them.

Completely out-of-the-blue, unproven guess - my mind is used to learning new symbols quick, from all the gaming I've done. And it's much easier to learn a new symbol that's cohesive, continuous & unique, rather than having to read disjoint characters and figure out a different meaning for them.
