Old people syntax hilighting

I've noticed that most of my professors don't use syntax hilighting in VIM. They will either use white on black, or green on black. Does /prog/ think that this makes them worse programmers?

Well sorry you elitist fucks, some of us can't see as well as we'd like to be able to and therefore

a.) use dark backgrounds to not nuke our eyes
b.) use syntax highlighting to avoid typos.
