I’m not a novice and I don’t know what the colors mean either. I’m not dyslexic at all, but I feel the same as you. Code doesn’t look right, and the changes in color helps with readability.
It’s also a crude spell checker. “Hmm, the word didn’t change color so it’s probably not `elseif` … let me try `elif`. Yep, that changed color!” Kind of thing.
The other two major pain points where color coding really makes it obvious what’s going on, is when a string is left unclosed and everything turns into “the wrong” color and matching of parentheses.
