The best thing about Iosevka is that it's configurable in so many different ways. You're not limited to a configuration that the author of the font thinks to be the best. The attention to details in Iosevka is also notable (like the alignment of special characters). Iosevka is very balanced: it looks good both in a source code editor and a terminal.
When I looked at ligatured fonts a few months back I went with Monoid instead, it fits my uses better, and I was especially attracted to the triple-equal ligature for JS contexts (in Monoid, `===` is rendered as a long ≡ making it visually very distinctive from assignment or regular equality).

I have my own build of iosevka with my name in it.
I've yet to find a better condensed programming font with ligatures, it's close to perfect already (for me).

Yeah iosevka is missing a few ligatures I'd like but they slowly get filled out over time and it had the ones I use the most.

Agreed. It's narrow, but does not sacrifice readability.
Ditto. I love Iosevka Slab. I switch between it and VT Gothic.
