This is actually funny with me. I can't program in HTML or PHP 
without colorization but in Transcript the colors bother me. I think 
this has to do with utility. I mean in HTML the colors allow me to 
distinguish content from tags. However, there is no such a clear 
separation in Transcript. Most typos are caught by the compiler and 
the rest in execution trials. May be the difference is also in 
programming styles. I tend to do chunk at a time, ensuring that each 
chunk works before moving on to the next one.
