I'd be interested to hear you elaborate on this.

I have always been a fan of syntax highlighting (as long as I have been aware of it - my Speccy lacked it). I am not aware of any negatives.

Now, that's a controversial programming opinion. Can you explain why syntax highlighting is bad?

Care to explain your point further?

Interesting point. I haven't set up colours in my terminal and it's not the greatest loss in the world, if what you have already is readable code.
