I use and appreciate stealth fontification, because while I care about
different portions of my source files appearing with different colours based
on their syntactic functions, I care *much more* about seeing those source
files *immediately,* when I open the file in question, because there’s a
very good chance I opened the file just to see its contents. As such,
stealth fontification allows me to have both fontification and immediate
text display.
