    I know what you mean. I was called over to a colleague's desk to answer a query he had with a change he was making, (in an old IDE without colour-highlighting). It just looked wrong. So I rearranged the code slightly and it was immediately obvious he'd mismatched his closing parentheses. It wasn't conscious. I just knew it was wrong.

  If you're older than syntax highlighters, you probably don't need them like all those pesky kids on your lawn. When I worked in a computer lab, I'd often walk past kids writing code in notepad, peer over their shoulder and spot imbalaced parentheses or a missing semicolon. I'd keep it to myself unless they asked for help, because it's a learning process... and then they'd be amazed as I immediately found the spot. And sure, they probably save you time. But for me, they add visual clutter and only spot trivial issues, and rarely save me a few seconds per day.
