Indubitably. I turned on syntax highlighting once. Never again.
(Couldn't read my code until it was off.) <Shudder>
When needing to confirm a matching brace, I just whack %, or watch the
cursor flick on closing brace insertion, with "showmatch" set.

ISTM very intuitive that compounding excessive layers of highlighting
results in no net highlighting, after a point. Failure of efforts to lay
it on thicker seems to confirm that. (Though a blinking cursor might be
a last gasp in that direction. :-)
