The syntax coloring is awful.

My personal dislike is code like this

*SELECT MyField ;
   FROM MyTable ;
   WHERE MyField = 10

The compiler correctly sees the ; at the end of the lines and turns it all into comments.
The colorer however only turns the first line green. Meaning you can not always rely on the color of the text when scanning through it.
