Well, my subjective feeling is that I read better if the text is in 
proportional font, and I can write better if it is in monospace.  But I 
make a lot of typos when I write (usually at the level of words rather 
than characters), and I notice those typos only if I read the text back 
in proportional font.  Go figure.

Probably comes from all those years of reading books type set in awful 
proportional fonts ;-)
