So if you take a look at the screen grab of that -https://operation8bit.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/feature_syntax.png https://operation8bit.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/feature_sy... - you will notice that he’s highlighting an assortment of assembler directives with colors far away from the opcodes, and that there’s a jsr highlighted in red. Presumably jmp is also picked out: HEY THE PROGRAM FLOW CHANGES HERE. Feels pretty useful for skimming the code a few days later when you’ve forgotten the details. Or for commenting and cleaning up a disassembly of someone else’s code, I remember drawing lines on printouts to try and unwind what was happening...
Also of course if you are going to do something insane like build a completely automated workflow to go from “a file full of assembly” to “a browser window opens with an emulated c64 running your code” in one keystroke, you may as well fuck around with writing a syntax highlighter while you’re at it.
