I'll keep it, thanks. My life is far easier with it. You are welcome to use Notepad.

Ever use vi/emacs/nano/etc? Pretty sure not everybody who doesn't like syntax highlighting only uses notepad ;).
Don't vi and emacs support syntax highlighting?

vi and emacs certainly support syntax highlighting. Nano does as well.

In fact the only text editors that I know of off the top of my head that do not support syntax highlighting is notepad and pico.

Yeah, but claiming that zero syntax highlighting automatically implies Notepad is pretty ridiculous.

Does vi support it, though? I know vim does.

nano supports syntax highlighting, IIRC. Not sure if pico does. If you're a fan of Motif you could even used Nedit.
