"Advanced" is a relative term.

While Eclipse does color-highlight variables and VS doesn't,
that has nothing to do with how "advanced" Eclipse is, compared to VS.

It only means it has that feature but VS doesn't.

VS has many features that Eclipse doesn't have, including
the ability to visually edit VB.NET, C# and J# source code.

With Phalanger, an add-on, VS 2005 can even edit PHP native files.

Eclipse is limited to Java, C and C++.

So, as you can see, "advanced" is a very relative term.

btw, have you ever used the "Find All References" feature in VS 2005?

If you right-click on a variable and hit Shift+F12 a window will appear at the
bottom of the IDE that lists all occurrences of this variable in your project.

That is quite useful when managing variables.

Another option is perhaps to use "View reference" to list refererences to
this variable (depending on whay you want to highlight the variable).
