Try ScintillsNet. You can have the luxury of syntax coloring.

Sorry, "ScintillaNet".

grr!! I really hate syntax coloring.. or anything, that does anything, to my code... whatsoever. These kinds of features are all competing for my attention, and I find it really annoying.

That's (yet another reason) why I wrote my own IDE.

Actually I do syntax color one thing, and one thing only...

"main("

 .. the background of that text is highlighted in bright green, so I know straight away where main function is.

but thanks for the suggestion :-)

Most syntax coloring schemes I find overpowering, but I think at a minimum, having the comments a different color so that it is instantly obvious what is code and what is not is helpful.

Wow. I'm surprised that I'm not the only one here who hates syntax highlighting. :-D

I just use Vim. ;-)  Linux is my IDE. :-P

I don't even need that, I just type `/main` and it takes me right there. :-D  No highlighting necessary, I can code over ssh to a remote host. Trying to do that with an IDE is ... painfully slow, among other painful things.
