I also like intellisense and it's red squiggly underlining. I've been trained for years in English to ignore this feature and it helps me focus on making a million mistakes yet getting work done and tackling them later.

I like syntax highlighting because it greatly reduces the "wall of text" effect of a piece of dense code. The particular details of which kinds of tokens get certain colors is less important than just breaking up the text somehow. Indentation is a visual cue which nobody competent has any argument with, allowing code to be interpreted "across the room" at least at a high level. I feel the same way about highlighting.
The "real men suffer through it" argument just doesn't convince me at all. I find that the highlighting helps me navigate code, especially unfamiliar code, faster. I don't care how or why it helps, just that it does.
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}

Yeah like I'd waste coming out on a bunch of ugly old programmers.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Careful, my friend... I resemble that characterization!
