You're not the only one, but my configuration is the opposite of yours.

These are the three lines I always use on any vim install.

    let loaded_matchparen = 1

    syntax off

    map ; :

The first two lines are crucial, because I find rainbow colored text and flashing punctuation extremely distracting. If you find monochrome code unreadable, then that's a problem with your formatting style that you can easily fix.

The last line is really handy for not having to hold down shift so much.
