That code is even easier to read with semantic highlighting than "basic" syntax highlighting. That said, syntax highlighting definitely helps when handling embedded strings, differentiating between value types, figuring out if something is a macro, function or global variable (which is important, as in a language like C++, the behaviour of `foo(x++)` depends on which of the above it is) Highlighting doesn't tell you what's important, it tells you what's different. You should find a scheme that roughly weighs what's important to you;
