Every extra facility adds the baggage potential problems.
That's why I didn't want color in the early days of computing.
And perhaps why many *nix <piano-players> don't want visual input via mouse.

This relates also to ETHO's simple-wipe coloring facility, which offers
massive extra cognitive power.

It apparently depends on the individuals <psychology>, because forth-users
don't appreciate the founder's introduction of colorforth.
A text wrote "you can use colors to make it more attractive..."

It's not about "attractive" !!
Different colors penetrate immediately to the primitive subconscious, bringing
information, with the minimum of effort/distraction.      It's
efficient: like breathing.
