@nixCraft Dark text on a light background is easier to view outdoors!

Adaoh@nixCraft in a bright room light mode is just better especially with a glossy screen, I can see what I want to see instead of my face..
@nixCraft that's not a developer thing only, many people that spend a lot of time working with large amounts of text on the screen prefer a dark theme ui
Your eyes have to deal with way less artificial light that way 🤷

Where Chuck once stood, only I will remain.@nixCraft Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa SO BRIGHT ASF CHRIST WTF. My pupils just slammed shut so tight I herniated my cornea. Brain freeze ain't got nothing on a migraine brought on by a bright white IDE screen. Crypt-mode inky darkness please and thank you.
KenWebDevBTW@nixCraft I used to have horrible eye floaters when I used light themes, so the dark theme takeover of absolutely everything has probably saved my career lol.
So I'd say yes.
Ram Prakash@nixCraft the poll doesn’t make any sense to developers who use Vim/Emacs ;-)
Gokul Das@nixCraft My desktop and all the applications switch between dark and light (or back) based on time of the day, or whenever I feel like it. I really don't get the fanatic like or dislike of either mode.
selje 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇮🇪@nixCraft It's like staring into a Flashlight.
Corvus@nixCraft No, not afraid. Dark just happens to be my preference.
Dellion 🦔@nixCraft It's better for eyes 😁

MegatronicThronBanks@nixCraft I CANNOT DEVELOP ON DARK BACKGROUNDS!!

Iuliia@nixCraft I don't want anyone to see my code in daylight.
@nixCraft I'm definitely not a vampire.
felipem@nixCraft a mate ask me if I was using visual basic 6 when he saw me using VS 2022 with light theme.
Laura@nixCraft
Only exception is QGIS, because that looks... questionable on dark mode.

T Alex Beamish@nixCraft If I used an IDE, I wouldn't be afraid, I would just find the setting for dark mode.
It's academic - I use vim and don't plan on changing.
ed(1) conference@nixCraft I get that IDEs can be scary regardless of the color-scheme. But a proper text editor will help.
Wiikifox@nixCraft Wow, this results are pretty polarized. On another note: Dark Mode FTW!!
@nixCraft so it's true, developers like me prefer life as vampires 🦇
