Very strong opinions for something entirely subjective and endlessly configurable.
I failed the question about remembering what colour my class definitions were, but you know what? I don’t care. All I want is for it to be visually distinct when I’m trying to parse a block of code
Yeah, if I want to know what the colour is to find other instances of that thing easier, it takes 2 seconds to determine the colour. But I can’t remember ever actually doing that.
That retunr typo will be caught by the compiler. That’s what pass 1 is pretty much for, spell and syntax check.

Between multiple IDEs, text editors, diff viewers and editors, and hosted tools like MR/review diff, they’re not even consistently just one thing. For me, very practically and factually. Colors differ.
As you point out, they’re entirely missing the point. What the colors are for and how they’re being used.
I care about knowing what which color means ostensibly (not sure how much it actually benefits me,) but I also actually do, for the vscode default theme.
yeah, this guy got syntax highlighting backwards. It never occurred to me that I should know the element-to-color mappings of my theme. For what good would that serve?
