That was rather rude. If you have something to say, say it. There was nothing offensive about what I wrote to warrant such tone.

You are right, I was rude.
Using a variable font to fit in more characters in a line so you can have toolbars... I don't know where to begin.
(I know you said you don't use a variable width font but to even utter "toolbars" as a reason scares the beejesus out of me.  )

No worries. I was merely speculating on behalf of the other user to offer a reason. I can imagine that being able to see a files explorer, properties pane and toolbox all at the same time might be nice. Right now I have to collapse them (at least the toolbox) most of the time.
And frankly I hate those sliding toolbars. :P

Ah, so you mean tool windows rather than toolbars. Paul probably thought you meant toolbars.

I often use keyboard macros to toggle open and close them rather than auto-hide. Gives me a rest from the mouse (and waiting for the hour-glass).

Ah sorry. I hate those sliding tool windows. 
I'll keep the keyboard macros in mind, but often I just want to use the mouse anyway and have to wait for the delay while it hovers and then animatedly slides out. I hate delays. :P

So do I. I find I'm most productive with the right combination of keyboard and mouse.

You tend not to get the delay when using a macro (except for the very first invocation of a macro in that session).
The sliding tool windows are actually a good idea but just not efficient and reliable enough.

How much code do you look at and have to comprehend quickly on a daily basis? For some it's not a lot and so they can have more latitude in what they choose but for others it's a hell of a lot and if you find you have to think at all while looking at it to comprehend it then it's just wrong.

Tried it for a while once. And I do experiment with other fonts from time to time but keep coming back to Courier New. I've just not yet found a compelling alternative.
Arial is my favourite in word processing though. I always switch to it in Word or in email clients.
