The time I really find it useful is when I've got mismatched parens,
brackets or curly braces. Then they're much easier to track down as
Context highlights pairs. <br>

Other than that I could give a rip about highlighted syntax.<br>

I once stopped using speed dialing because it made me forget the phone
numbers eventually. I wonder if using syntax highlighting can make
you less effective eventually if you have to use an editor that
doesn't have it...
I personally don't like syntax highlighting (but not for the reason
above). I find the flashing changing colors annoying and distracting.
I wonder if I'm in the minority...
