It's simply Serif (just look at the name of Windows screen-only fonts:
MS Serif, MS Sans Serif). And I always found fonts without serifs
(sans serif) much easier to read...

My preference in both programs is Lucida Sans (for printing; I seem to
like lucida a lot :), or Verdana (for screen).

Most people which defend courier do that because they don't have any
other fixed-pitch font to use :)

You can change the font with regedit, but the results aren't nice
(editor will use chosen font, but will try to display it fixed-pitch
no matter what - not very readable:)
