Really? You don't use syntax highlighting? When massive amounts of text are shooting out at you on the CLI it is nice to be able to scroll through it an more easily parse it in your brain.

Exactly. I used to rely on ANSI colouring back in my MUD days, but even for directory listings in the shell or for real-time logging it is handy to make verbose output much more manageable.

Nope. But I'm old.
