I found that line beyond pretentious. You don't need to "struggle with syntax" to find highlighting useful.

I actually find that this "blob of amorphous text" is helpful for me, I seem to read code more thoroughly with syntax highlighting off

I find syntax highlighting to be quite distracting. There are reasons why it is still an option and not mandatory.

The best option is to have a option.

As long as I can use it, doesn't bother me at all that you don't. Doesn't affect the code at all.

Its a open discussion, no bothering required
