I never got that. It's just a font for writing programs.

There are many ugly, unprofessional fonts out there. Lots of them are worse than Comic Sans. Why was this one singled out by so many?

Cause most people don't use those fonts?

Yet, you won't see so many people screaming bloody murder over those other fonts as they do with Comic Sans. Why was this one in particular singled out?

But they do. They just don't know the name of the font.

Because, for whatever reason, Comic Sans started to creep into every-day use for some people. Even still, you'll see when there only options for 4-5 fonts, Comic Sans is included. From the creator:

"Back in 1994, Microsoft was making software in anticipation of the day when there would be a computer in every of?ce and in every home. Today, in fact, people have computers in their offices and homes, and in their pockets and purses. Regular people who are not typographers or graphic designers choose Comic Sans because they like it, it’s as simple as that. Comic Sans isn’t complicated, it isn’t sophisticated, it isn’t the same old text typeface like in a newspaper. It’s just fun — and that ‘s why people like it."

It began to be used by people in low-key office environments in the 90s and it shouldn't have.

That's a better explanation. You'd think people would have gotten over it by now. I know people that are very vocal about their dislike of it (I'm saying literal anger). It's just a font, calm down. People make it a bigger deal than it actually is.
