Not all who wander are lost...
I can't stand color syntax highlighting, myself. Every time I try to use
it I get distracted by the changing colors every time I open or close some
quoting method. And don't get me started on the problems when the file-type
auto-detection fails and it tries to highlight your python file using some
C-like syntax.
Give me the clean, zen-like simplicity of plain white or gray text any day
of the week.
