“But as an interface on a computer when I want to get some work done, this animated stuff is like a chocolate coating on the handle of a screwdriver.”

If syntax highlighting is useless or even bad in your opinion, then what's the use of a f0cking cortune fookie?!

It's fun that doesn't get in the way of work. In this metaphor, chocolate coating on your dessert. For the record, I disagree with the author on the uselesnes of syntax highlighting and would like to see an actual study on the topic.

I agree; I don't like all that fancy animated stuff and so on that they like to put in modern computers. For one thing, omitting it would shorten and speed up the program.

The only thing non-engineers care about are the visuals.

non-engineers don't matter. Fridges are built by engineers to fulfill their role, cooling food to just above freezing, as well and efficiently as possible. Although nowadays, they also come with animated touchscreens and internet access for some reason. Keep it functional, stupid.
