Sure, I could get used to it. But it being more readable is not even true for me, because the thing I got used to instead, is that != is the unequals-operator. I see that much more often than ≠.
For monospace fonts? I’ve heard of such research for proportional fonts, where ligatures definitely make sense to me. But yeah, I wouldn’t assume such research to automatically translate to monospace.

Do you also get surprised when you backspace a tab and suddenly it removes more whitespace than 1 characters worth?
Or did you learn it fast and really never think about it?
I think it’s more a “getting used to” thing, that once learned, you don’t think about, but it makes things more readable.
