I don't know if you are trolling or not, but if not, you are an interesting person (In a good way) :-)

I too prefer a much more minimal approach to my text editor. Then what most IDEs provide, but syntax highlighting is luxurious and a must-have for me. In general, I really love colors, especially the simple colors of the terminal. Color can be distracting of course, but it is a phenomenal way to quickly differentiate between related and unrelated parts of the code.
