I program without syntax highlighting. Comes from a combination of learning shell scripts within vi (not vim) and the bloatedness of syntax highlighting and autocomplete nonsense. Coding without it all is a nice way to ensure that everything can be encapsulated within your brain. Leads to different abstractions and such. It's fun and I highly recommend it.

Also, the comments in here are really strangely negative. Let people have their preferences, weirdos.

Also also: so much of syntax highlighting and such is designed by people without color blindness. So a lot of syntax highlighting just doesn't work for me. It's wild to me that color blind people still have to be vocal about it.
