Monokai Dimmed syntax highlighting is different - with less distinctions

[wschaeferiii]

With the update today, this syntax highlighting for Monokai Dimmed for javascript (babel) changed pretty drastically, eliminating a lot of distinctions between the text.

Most noticeably, most of text is an ugly white... which I am used to a light blue (numbers maintain the blue). Template strings have variables still in green, like the rest of the string. Properties on variables are just white, like the variables, not purple like they used to be.

Keywords are like class, extends and new, are still the same, methods are still orange, booleans are still pink. It used to be that the keyword this was the only white text and now it is red like global, window, and Promise.

Not sure what happened, but I was very used to this theme and now I feel like I am reading something very unnatural. I hope it is just a bug, and not that this will be the decision to eliminate those distinctions above.

I tweaked the grammar this last iteration. The changes to this are intentional but we may want use the blue color for more variables again

For reference, here's the 1.13 style:

Here's 1.14 which changes this and the default property color:

Here's Atom:

Here's what VSCode looks like if we restore the blue color for variable.other and purple for dot accessors:

Verified that the white words after . are now light blue.

Is this related? PHP highlighting has been broken since 1.14.0, it's also broken with 1.14.1:

The tags weren't white before.

Also bunch of other things are white too, like class names with "::" syntax the <?php sometimes, sometimes only the ?> is white.
