Colors are helpful (productive), but they also make you feel good, so you get even more productive. Emacs' traditions precede GUI/mouse/color support. Everyone's taste differs. It's not designed to be 'optimal' for some imagined target audience other than the taste of the developer(s). Look at it as a 'toolkit' allowing you to config/code your own editor. If that seems burdensome or too difficult then maybe another editor more in tune with the current mainstream zeitgeist would suit you better, No comment on the 'kids & girls'.
