This morning I've noticed that the syntax colouring has been *completely* redone. This post will cover C# in particular, but I'm sure there will be similar issues among other languages.
Here's how it looks now:

Here's how it looks in Visual Studio 2015 with the default theme:

While in general, most of it is aesthetics, there are two main objective issues I have with the new style:
1. Strings now look like comments. This is *extremely* confusing, and while it may take getting used to, it still completely clashes with the default colour schema of Visual Studio, which I would imagine most developers use.
2. Everything looks like a hyperlink.

At the absolute minimum, please allow the syntax highlighting to be configurable, so that we can go back to the original styling.
