As usual, I read the code sample before reading the article:

    for (i=0;i<3;++i) {
      /* Do initialisation here!
      niftyConfig = 1;
      funkyValue = 2;
    }

There's no way it's mentally just as easy for me to find that error without syntax highlighting.

It may be just slightly more difficult, but then it's death by a thousand paper cuts if I'm reading code for 6-12 hours a day.

I think it's fine when you're just working on your own but if you have to review code or work in a codebase you don't own that's much more effort.
