I like that code is shown with a proportional font. I've been coding like that for a couple of years. It took a week to adapt but code is far easier to read now. After all we're using proportional fonts for nearly everything, why not code?

Compare proportional on Gitly to fixed on GitHub, same code.

However it's not what most people see in their editors. I wonder if anybody noticed or complained about it.

Two things that can go wrong with proportional code:

* Alignments like this

    a =    1
    long = 2

you can't do that unless your editor is very cooperative. That could make sharing code with coworkers difficult.

* Sans serif fonts don't distinguish between I and l and I didn't find a proportional serif font that does look good enough for code.
