Tell me. I am curious to know if use a text editor without syntax highlighting.

Seems to be the case that there is no modern text editor that doesn't color every single word. Must be so hard for you now that you're forced to use these tools with such "poor usability and design". How do you even manage?

That's partly the reason why I tend to avoid software with "modern" in its description... but more seriously, I don't care much for syntax highlighting --- I can put up with it (unless the colours are too distracting), but I do prefer monochrome text.

Did he seriously just throw random colors on random words and compare that to syntax highlighting?
