Wow, I'm surprised -- the human eye discerns color contrast much more easily than patterns. While I don't care for the standard Shout colors, by changing them to be more intuitive and constrasting, particularly for longer methods, the colors _really_ enhance the readability. For example, I'm able to instantly see references to instVars with just a glance because they're gold (dark yellow); or references to self and super because they're bolded, which quickly tells me whether this is a "utility" method. Further, by making comments a light-gray, they are just barely visible, so they're not cluttering the code, but still easily readable if I decide to focus on them for a clarification. Kind of like simply changing eye-focus "reveals" different aspects of the code -- what a powerful "gesture"!..
To each, his own. :)
