If everyone else is is wrong, it might be that he’s the one who is wrong.
Actually, I read his post and he’s definitely wrong. Having coded in plaint text editors without syntax highlighting, I know the candy store look really aids locating needles on this haystack. He’s proposing making more needles hay-colored so the ones he thinks are more important become the focus.
It’s just his personal taste, if he loves visual fatigue, he should enjoy it without criticizing others.
