For me it's the opposite. I literally can't use another editor for any extended period of time since I started using Shade Of Purple in vscode. I usually hate flashy stuff but man, pycharm is weirdly hard to use without it

It's such a stupid detail and ideally irrelevant to actual development too, but my brain just likes it too much.

Just tried Shade Of Purple and while it looks nice for TS code when I switch to HTML the fact that attribute names are italicised and a bright orangey-yellow while tag names, attribute values and text content all have neutral or darker colours to me makes it look like a case of not being able to see the forest for all the trees - the least interesting part of the document grabs my attention and makes the whole thing harder to visually parse. And it's even worse when attribute values contain expressions because some parts (property and function names) get the same bright orangey-yellow colour as the attribute name.

I think you can tweak it. I'm not sure since I use it mainly for python and C++ but when I used it for html (very very rarely) I didn't notice it. I'll check again, maybe it's not optimized for web!

I wonder if it's something that I changed, since with settings sync it's hard to know what's the "default" in any extension even after reinstalling :')

Tried it and it's awesome! Cool that I saw someone on the issues tab port it to ST4 too. btw, have you tried gruvbox?
