Yes, I like my fonts big, easier to read. Not that I'm sight impaired, it's just a personal preference. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? Everybody has his/her own taste.
I also like to use proportional fonts when writing code (Python, C++, PHP, SQL), which has raised many eyebrows too.
As for my preference for Comic Sans: I find it a very nicely rounded font, easy on the eyes, and very readable letter forms. There's absolutely no trolling involved here: I just like it for my own use, I'm not forcing anyone else to use it, I'm perfectly fine with other people using Consolas or Monaco in their code editors.
