After trying this font on my vscode, I switched back to Fira code, but it's a personal choice.
Personally, I Think Cascadia is more "blocky" and visually made it more difficult to understand the code I'm writing. Do you had any problems like me?

Yeah, I'm finding it a bit "heavy", like everything is bold.

There is different weights AFAIK, you can try a lighter than regular weight. I heard someone mention this recently

Yes. Iosvka (github.com/be5invis/Iosevka) is also a great alternate to Fire Code but not Cascadia.
