Oh, OK. I asked, because sometimes people doesn't like a certain aspect of a font and can't stand it, and need to switch. Also, I'm also the exact opposite of you. I can use a font I like for a decade without getting tired of it. Same for a good color scheme for my terminals / IDE.

So it was a genuine curiosity of me. Sorry if it sounded rude or accusatory or similar.



Oh no, I didn't consider it rude at all! It's quite interesting to find someone who can use the same one over and over....brains are weird eh?


>...brains are weird eh?

Yeah, certainly.

I like to solve some problems once, and once I solve them sufficiently, I don't prefer to touch them, so I can focus on other things. It's not that I don't look for better solutions, but I don't actively seek them.

Same is true for tools. I prefer to master a single tool over the years to jump from tool to tool.


Interesting. Same with me. I just like mastering a single tool, as opposed to using new ones. But I guess I like lots of fonts ;)


There are great number of very nice fonts, indeed. However, Berkeley is both very good at being readable/tidy and being nostalgic at the same time.

I'm not that young, so using it makes my computer a little cozier and friendlier, without sacrificing any readability or font quality. =D

If you wanna take a look, it's at https://usgraphics.com/products/berkeley-mono


I checked it out, it looks pretty great! That being said, I actually quit my full-time developer job so no longer can justify that sort of expense, haha!
