OnePieceNation, while it is clear to me that you are expressing your opinion using expressive language, others may not understand that, so in future it may be a good idea if you worded your opinions to just speak for yourself, to avoid people attempting to "refute" your opinion, as if it's something up for debate.

I, for one, representing myself, expected this to be added to Special:WikiFeatures, and do not personally think it was made clear that it would be made active on all wikis in two weeks. If anyone does not agree with this opinion, good for you, it does not make my opinion any less valid.

I am a user who edits CSS and JS frequently, and I personally find the highlighting there to be a nuisance which slows me down, and have send in a request to Special:Contact to disable it where I had previously volunteered to test it, until such time as the user preference is expanded to disable the entire feature.
 * (edit: reworded "As a user who edits CSS and JS frequently" so that this is not misinterpreted as a statement that I represent all users who edit CSS and JS frequently.)

I would like to hear the opinions of less experienced editors, and find out whether it actually helps them.
