I use vim on the light background, and the blue comment color has always bothered me. The problem is that blue looks very much like black, and comments overall look too much like the main text.
Recently I switched the comment to gray, and am much more happy about the code look aesthetically. Also comments in the code became much more readable and noticeable. Not sure if people would share my feeling about this. But maybe majority of users will agree? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
