Interesting post.

Just like everyone else, I disagree on some aspects.

One has not been brought up. So here's goes:

My first reaction to the highlighting of the literals (strings, numbers, etc) was:

"This is wrong! Who cares about the exact value here? I want to understand the program flow!"

But thinking about it a bit more, this is actually a deficiency in the code itself, not the highlighting:

It's magic numbers! And they get highlighted for you.
