I was the same until I started using Fira Code and don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. the ligatures are worth it

Hack is very underrated and awesome. Fira Code is nice, so is Adobe Source Code Pro [0], and Iosevka [1]. Yet, Berkeley is truly at its own level.

    Source Code Pro is damn near perfect for me, I've been using it for some years. Occasionally I get an itch to explore other fonts, but I always come back to this one, all its refined details just feel good to my eyes.

I must say it does look awesome.

Although I'm personally not a fan of ligatures, I feel they may increase mental burden at times;

for example having to look closely if it's = vs == or == vs === among other examples.

    +100 I really dislike ligatures. They are one of those things that seem great in theory but I find them to be a real distraction. This is why I never got into the JetBrains fonts — there was no ligature-free option. (Maybe there is now, but I haven’t felt motivated to try it again.)
