I'm probably in both of the last two and also a fourth.
I'm still setting emacs colors in Xdefaults having put some time
investment into making that work some years ago. It hadn't occurred to
me that they might be interacting.
The fourth category is cognitive. I am not neuro-typical. Most color
schemes just seem annoying to me. Thunderbird's use of color works for
me, eg, but M-x grep, M-x compile, and all of the font locked editing
modes I've seen do not. Color coding is difficult for me. Numbers are
much easier.
I'll try to find some time later this week to invest in coming up to
speed with what's available now. Maybe I can help.
