I think there's two ways people look at code: as text to be linearly read, or as a structure to be navigated visually. I'm on the later camp, and I believe that's why I dislike the "movement" towards getting rid of puntctuation like (in JS land) semicolons, function braces and parens, and the like. That helps me parse the code visually into its structure, while it must just appear like noise to somebody "reading" code linearly. Now, for the kicker: Who do you think writes more blog posts about how much they like their languages and code highlighting, people in the "text thinking" camp, or the "visual thinking camp"?
