There must be about a hundred generic syntax highlighters out there, what makes this one special?

The logo? :P
Seems like there's a particularly large deluge of this stuff for python these days. Maybe the
Python community is finally collapsing in on itself, like when the Lisp community decided in
the 90s that their only collective output from then on was going to be new dialects of lisp.
From here on out, it's all code review tools.

Arguably one could say the same about X and window managers/toolkits in the 90s... or Linux
and distributions since... forever.
Another syntax highlighter?
Does anyone know of an implementation of the prettyprinting style described in M. Baecker and
A. Marcus, Human Factors in Typography for More Readable Programs? They demonstrated improved
readability for code that was heavily reformatted using font style and size shifts, background
variations, moving he comments to the outside of the page, etc. I once built a tool on top of
vgrind to generate HTML for C code in an approximation of their format, but gave up because
the preprocessor makes so many things impossible...
