It's considered even better writing style to be clear with your titles.
When clicking on this, I assumed there would be either; cited facts or a general consensus from a large number of users that this font is "the best". Instead, what this is, is an opinion.
> Retina screens make subtle strokes and thinner weights look better, and M+ does that: its thin is ethereal, almost a stick font.
Opinion.
> It’s much narrower than average, so 80 characters per line can fit in less than half of my screen width - so I can use a vertical split in vim to edit two or more files at a time.
My opinion is that you might as well just use a smaller font size if this is an issue. Narrowing makes things harder to read than proportionately down-sizing - to me.
> It covers Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Kanji and Kana: beyond that, few monospace fonts will do, though you can always fall back to Arial Unicode.
Don't most other mainstream fonts?
> It’s clear: 0 is slashed to differentiated it from O, and 1 is easy to tell apart from I, and l.

Edit: Just to be clear - I don't have a downer on the initiative of creating fonts (especially when they're open source and trying to make life easier for programmers), I'm just shooting the breeze over a bit of grammar. I'm sure lots of people will/do like this font. :)
