Neon and Argon: Seem okay. They're really quite similar though. It's like the designers couldn't decide which they liked more and so just decided to release both.
Xenon: It feels alright. The horizontal serifs give everything a more uniform look, but you can also get that with any other serif font.
Radon: Uh, no thanks. It's like someone took the weird letters from Dank Mono and said "what if we did that but for the whole font?"
Krypton: What if we just took OCR A and added ligatures? Alternatively, "Floating Point Precision Error: The Font"
Overall, none of these are compelling enough to make me want to try them. I quite like the Texture Healing feature, but it's not enough to make me want to move to it.
Also, using multiple different fonts in one code file sounds horrendous.
Radon, the "handwriting" one, seems like if someone wanted to have Comic Sans but for code.
Comic Code is a thing and it's 10/10. It's proof that handwriting style fonts for code is possible.
