No Consolas here Buddy
I keep hearing on mailing lists, forums and now blogs about the new Consolas font for Visual Studio.
Consolas Conschmolas.
Yuck.
It may be a prettier or technically superior monospaced font, but it's still a monospaced font, which suck. 
Why do programmers think they have to use monospaced font nowadays? Your eyesight is more important than lining up the characters on your screen. I've used Verdana 8pt for years and you get so much more on the screen that most other fonts, and it's readable!
