This is such a ridiculous statement I honestly believe it's clickbait and have flagged it as such. Syntax highlighting has so many obvious benefits that I think there's only two types of people who are against it; the first is people who just don't use it and use it as a silly point of pride that they don't and the second is people who are just trolling. While you're typing things get highlighted the correct color indicating your syntax is correct. For example, you aren't going to forget a quote to end a string (or start a string) if all your code gets highlighted the wrong color. This alone is enough to make it worthwhile even if syntax highlighting didn't do anything else. I'm not gonna waste a lot of time here listing out the numerous benefits of syntax highlight but instead make this point; the same dumb argument could be made against indentation. Why do you need to indent?! You should understand the code by reading it not based on indentation! Yeah, that's really stupid isn't it?
