I used to dislike syntax coloring while coding. It's fine for reading/reviewing. Now with great improvements in displays, fonts, and IDE themes, I quite like it. It's subtle enough to be visible if you care and not loud when you don't.
I still don't like color in my command-line terminals though. The only place I regularly use it is for `git log` with a custom formatter.
Maybe it's because I like my terminal font small (lots of reading logs) and colored text isn't as good very small. I also find differing vibrant colors to focus in different perceptual planes adding to eyestrain.
