Ah. If you're upfront about it, that's somewhat more reasonable. Though I'd still rather see more approaches that are tools-agnostic, and better approximations of real work.
Fair enough, I slightly amended my post, but I think asking for fizzbuzz with generic syntax highlighting is fair enough. As I think it's simple enough to write tool agnostic, because I'd expect you to be able to write it in any language you like, ignoring fatal syntax errors.
It's really just fizzbuzz, not an approximation of real life world, we had on site interviews for that (Switzerland is quite small, not sure how that'd apply to the US).
