The changes were made to make script editors in the Universal tiles environment work correctly. If you change the final few lines #testClass:andMethod: to reas as follows:

	syn finalAppearanceTweaks.
	">>SyntaxMorph setSize: nil andMakeResizable: outer.<<"
	outer setProperty: #autoFitContents toValue: true.
	outer openInWorld

you will find it a bit friendlier.
