I use them as menu font, editor font and such, they look perfect, and
they're definitely my favorite for this purpose.
I can show you an 800x600 picture of my mailer (Sylpheed); the message
body font is Lucida Sans Typewriter, and the rest, including the menu,
is in Helvetica.

S.H.
I can't argue with that.
The converse (of my assertion) is also true: bitmap fonts have the
capability to look *really good* if they have been done carefully and
are tailored to the exact point sizes you are using.
As usual, the ancient Romans had a comment on the question: "de
gustibus non disputandum" -- It's pointless to argue matters of taste.
Enjoy!
