Good point, tools need to get better (more context sensitive), maybe
should work only as advisors and have just funny names (and not claim
the spirit).

Good advices and refactoring on your talk (and I love the gorilla part
but I think that the "color_distraction" trick doesn't work for "non
native" speakers as me ;-)) and indeed, that wanted to be my point:

Let's review what the code does and not 007-Things. It's was really
about the workflow not style, but I'll follow your advice.

PS: Interesting is also how/why do people introduce bug's by
reformatting or trying to beautify things (and how those can be avoided,
by allowing change).
