I thought it would be silly or I would hate it, but the comic sans like nature of Fantasque Sans Mono really surprised me and worked well for coding/IDE use (especially in Python): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans
Yes, my favorite font for text editing. Not too unprofessional like comics-san but not dull/sterile like most mono fonts. Not sure why, but it has sort of an artistic personality, if I could describe it. Only thing I dislike is the "k" so I use the non-loop version.
