I you are using an "Angry Fruit Salad" color scheme, like the example in the article, it's yer own damn fault for not investing 10 minutes to find something more sublime.
Best color scheme I have found, I use it for everything. I can't even imagine opening up some of my code in notepad or vi(m) with no syntax highlighting and actually trying to do a productive amount of work. This suggestion seems absolutely ridiculous if your syntax highlighting is sane.
