it's 2023, any dev / data scientist not using a tool that gives you syntax highlighting seriously needs to get with the times

You say that as if AS400 systems with only console access don't exist anymore.

Well then use all-caps keywords whenever working on those systems, I don't care. But an edge case like that shouldn't dictate the default for everyone else who doesn't have to work on that, that's all I'm saying.

There are several cases where you'll be limited to console only, or log files, or many many other situations. Good coding practices just makes life easier all around.
