I agree completely. Using the native highlighting method on every platform
would make LibreOffice *feel* native, and would make it immeditaly feel
familiar and handy to new users. So, while on the *rational* side this is not
one of the most urgent enhancement requests, it is of considerable importance
on the *emotional* side.

A simple example of what I mean by rational/emotional importance:
I have resisted for a long time to use GIMP, not because it would not provide
most of the features I need for everyday imaging work, but simply because it
felt so “clumsy” to me; I was far too familiar (a) to the native Mac OS (X) UI
and
(b) to Photoshop. Now GIMP 2.8 has got a semi-native Mac OS X UI, and suddenly
I begin to feel comfortable with it, and actually to use it ...

Because of this personal experience I think it is really important to make the
UI feel native and familiar to the users, especially the simple basics of the
UI, and the highlighting is definitely a part of these basics.
