Going through this, I was introduced to <= being converted to a ligature which immediately ruled it as a nope for me. No monkey business with the characters of my code thank you very much.

That is usually configurable at the terminal level- for example, both wezterm and ghostty have available configs to control this behavior.

And if you use Emacs, it's configurable at the buffer level. [1] This lets me build a version of Iosevka where `~=` and `!=` both become ligaturized but in different major modes, avoiding any confusion.

Good to know. I’ve been using ghostty and generally not a fan of the code ligatures (or just too stubborn to adapt!).

		I'm not either. I think it may look "cool" visually but when trying to work with code with those in it, it seems odd, like that it's a single character even though it's not and it just breaks the flow

I like most ligatures, I wish I could selectively turn off just this one.

I don't like them as well. On this site, you can disable them with the checkbox on the top-right
