> I have to admit I don't really get this. I personally like colorized output, and I can't even think of situations where the colors chosen by a developer were so bad I wanted to disable them completely.

Colorized output really sucks when the output is displayed in a terminal that doesn’t support it. Visual Studio’s build output, online build terminals like CircleCI, log viewers, …

(Unsure if the ones I list above actually do have an issue with colors, but absolutely sure that I have seen it many times.)
