Yes, the version of vim that came with (I believe) Red Hat 6.0
has the definitions in its syntax file for proper "#if 0"
highlighting.  As common a practice as this has become, any
syntax-highlighting editor with some degree of maturity that
did *not* have this in its default rulesets for C/C++ would
surprise me.

What language-independent, syntax-highlighting text editor are
you using?

There goes the editor war again :) As Windows developer I'm mostly using
MSVC, still version 6, About says it's from 98. I don't know about .net studio
if this supports #if 0. For our own product we use an open-source editor for
Windows called CodeMax. An expanded version is here

Considering the age of these two it's maybe understandable why they
don't have this feature. Tell me an editor in Windows and I may switch.

As said before they don't color all files the same, they get the language
from the file extension and I guess vim does the same. Recognizing the
#if 0 is the only difference (well, at least concerning coloring :)

On Linux I used Kate so far. Hmm, Kate also supports #if 0, never noticed
that...
