I've been using Monaco for years. Something about it is very pleasing to me. However, I'm sort of bored with it and haven't been able to find a suitable replacement.

Try Fantastique Sans Mono:

At the very least, it will make you really appreciate Monaco.

Chiming in to agree. I like how you can customize certain characters (like `*' being at the top or in the middle of text, `g' being one or two stories, `0' having a slash or dot).

I find "Roboto Mono Sans" very pleasing and easy to read on dark background. Looks great in Terminal also.

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Mono?query=roboto+m... click on the paint button top right to switch to dark bg

Try (if you haven't) PT Mono, Fantasque Sans Mono, or Dejavu Sans Mono (which is not too different from Menlo).
