We strive for readability in our code, yet every printed material designed t=
o be read, such as books, newspapers, etc., uses a proportional font. I swit=
ched to proportional fonts years ago, and am only reluctantly using fixed wi=
dth because of vim. It doesn't take as long to get used to as you might thin=
