Yes, and I do. If you can't do a desk check, but require a colour-coding
IDE to read your code, you're not a programmer, you're a hack. Liking
syntax colouring is fine, it's needing it which is the problem: the IDE
should aid your code comprehension, not create it.

Similarly, if you can't work with two people on one problem without
needing to go through Github, you don't have enough social skills to be
a team player. Two thousand is another matter, but there, too, the basic
problem is organising the teams, _not_ setting up the Git repository.
