While I read a book I take notice of headers providing logical partitioning, page headings & numbers for orientation. On paper text may also be set with bolder font, or with emphasis added. It helps, when done properly. Same with syntax highlighter. I don't want to re-read entire screen of code every time I need to make a change in this general area. I want to have mental model "indexed" upon the looks of code. This can of course be done on "plain" code, but it's slower and I can only hold my attention for so long each day -- why waste it, especially if I need to specifically disable some features of my software? And lastly -- code is not a book. I will read a book once, maybe twice if I really like it (my max being 8 repeats), but there is never time to read it again. While code? I will be read it for the rest of my life, as far as I can tell... I will not enjoy reading everything for a 1000th time, that much I know.
