This seems like old-is-new waxing, reaching for some reason the old way is better.
> Initially, turning off syntax highlighting felt weird. I couldn’t skip through the source that fast anymore and it became harder to read.
It does, that's the point of syntax highlighting. This isn't a good thing(tm).

I tried not highlighting a bunch of times, it's called switching from my IDE to vi for whatever reason. It's not better for me.
