This kind of commentary really isn't helpful. If you don't like the
option, you're free not to use it. However denegrating other people's
choices doesn't help anything, and contributes to the perception that
new users who post to -questions will be harped on.
Personally I use the color options in gnuls, and have for years. I like
the display, and I like being able to see at a glance what everything
is. I keep intending to try colorls, just haven't gotten around to it.
