I think you mis-linked there. The email message with the denigrating comment about people who like syntax highlighting is here...

That was the day I dropped the mailing list.

I don't see anything denigrating there.

I disagree with Rob though, syntax highlighting is not juvenile, it's cargo cult programming.

"Syntax highlighting is juvenile."

That clearly implies anyone who uses syntax highlighting is juvenile. I'd say calling someone juvenile is meant to be denigrating.
