Thank you for this link! I agree with most of the points made there,
including the one making an exception for comments. The only syntax
coloring I use is to display comments in a darker gray than normal text,
so they fade into the background, as it were.
But I decided long ago that using different colors for types, keywords,
braces, function names, etc. just creates a garish effect that I don't find
aesthetic or helpful.
I use vim, despite its weight, because I grown used to using its text objects.
I also have a fondness for vim-outliner. But I don't use any of the other
available plugins, because I think it sucks less and is more Unixy to pipe
text through external commands.
I probably should give neovim a try.
