I must say it does look awesome.

Although I'm personally not a fan of ligatures, I feel they may increase mental burden at times;

for example having to look closely if it's = vs == or == vs === among other examples.

+100 I really dislike ligatures. They are one of those things that seem great in theory but I find them to be a real distraction. This is why I never got into the JetBrains fonts — there was no ligature-free option. (Maybe there is now, but I haven’t felt motivated to try it again.)

You’re right! Check out the NL (no ligature) version: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/tree/master/fonts...

You don't have to use them, even if they're in the font, just turn them off in your reditor.

Conversely I can turn them on for code I didn't write.

There is no downside to ligatures.

I also dislike ligatures, but I have been using JetBrains Mono for over a year now with ligatures disabled. works great!
