After all these years, I still find myself preferring NF-patched Consolas to newer code fonts. It has a pleasantly "unoffensive" look that tends to not divert my attention to the font itself --- can't take this quality for granted when it comes to other fonts, IMHO.
Give Inconsolata a try, I moved on to that from Consolas after I got tired of hunting down a copy of the font and manually patching it each time I set up a new workstation.

In order of preference/reverse chronological order - all patched w/ NerdFont:
- Fira Code Mono
- Inconsolata (This is basically Consolas w/ a permissive license and slightly different spacing)
- Consolas (MS Font so not free per se but easy enough to find floating around)
