That is extremely shiny. Can I get that in Vim?

Well, this is not quite the same, but you can get indent-level highlighting in vim via these sorts of plugins:

Of course, you can also get rainbow parenthesis in vim via:

  :let g:lisp_rainbow = 1
There should also be some way to get background highlights based on sexpr's instead of just indent level, but I haven't personally seen it.

Edit: actually, come to think of it, I seem to recall hearing that the slimv[1] plugin can do this. But I haven't really played with it myself.
