I have tried it and it's not horrible. The difficulty is that the chrome is styled one way, and the text inside the editors is styled another way. And neither of them are quite able to style everything!
I found the dark themes to look great with certain, staged screenshots. But then when you use it, the scrollbars are blaring white. Or the bar that shows your code blocks can't be styled (controlled by the OS). So you wind up with a mostly dark theme that has 2 or 3 blaring, ugly, mismatched elements that defeat the purpose.
Styling the editor window is something I've spend days tediously trying to tweak a nice pastel color pallet (that pretty much every app with a dark theme uses). But all the included ones are bright neon colors or just radically weird color choices. I've been able to get my code window 95% the way I'd want, but then all of the other windows like the explorer or the console don't match! The settings are all over the place and sometimes take a restart of Eclipse to if you got the right setting or not.
Basically I just gave up with the dark theme because it seems there's no way to get it consistent.
