He may be right that working on something harder like better
error messages for template constraints would be more useful, but
Walter likely needs to work on some easy stuff once in awhile
too, and this colored syntax will help. Git just enabled colored
highlighting of branch commits for git log and I've found it
useful.
I didn't think he was rude- he did say sorry several times in the
original post, expecting this response for his criticism- but
misguided to criticize this change, for not always matching the
user's settings, and to always expect Walter to work on the hard
stuff. Everybody needs to mix in some easy stuff, including
Walter I bet, to stay motivated and get some easy wins.
