> Sometimes it gets so bad one can’t see the base text color: everything is highlighted. What’s the base text color here?
I don't understand the premise of this. What is "the base text color" and why would it be important to be able to see it? Everything is assigned some specific color and I don't understand why one of the colors would be considered more important than the others.
> Here’s a quick test. Try to find the function definition here: [...] See what I mean?
No, I don't. From the context I can figure out that the author is arguing that they're easier to find in the second example, but I found it easier with the first. They're both what I would consider pretty bad syntax highlighting schemes, though.
I don't get this either. My code doesn't have "base text"...everything is something! I can see that not being the case for something like HTML, but not for most programming languages.
