Good for you, glad you found some value in it. However, that's a no from me dawg. I'm waaaaay too accustomed to all of the niceties that modern syntax highlighting and LSP provide. I'm so certain that it's a huge step back for me that I won't even try it.

Quite a few people think that until they -do- try it and then find it has its advantages.

I know of a number of people who made the deal with themselves "I'll try it for a week/month and then see what I think" - I think over half went "well, that was interesting" and turned it back on, but a surprising (to me, a no-synhi preferring person who thought I was rarer than that) number switched to either "hilighting only for languages I'm unfamiliar with" or "no hilighting at all."

I don't recall anybody regretting trying the experiment.

(that's not to say you -should- try it, but I do think your certainty that you'd get nothing at all out of doing so may be misplaced)
