I wish programs would not colorize. I find that I much prefer post-processing program output to colorize how I please, especially since I may want much better coloring/styling (e.g. mix of foreground/background, bold, underline, and more than basic red/green color choices). Of course, this requires that output has enough semantic clues in the text to colorize meaningfully; that’s a good thing anyway, since it makes the command more flexible for any other purpose like chaining Unix commands.
