It depends on the environment I am in. If I am in a dark room (my coworkers like the dark for some reason) it is much less glaring to look at a dark screen. In a well lit room (like my home office) a light theme is much easier to use. I just switch between the Tomorrow and Tomorrow Night themes.

I wouldn't say it depends so much on the brightness of the room but rather the general brightness of the screen and if there is any sort of glare on it. I use dark mode always and switch to light mode when im sitting in a sunny area.

Dark mode has one distinct advantage: colors pop way more meaning the syntax highlighting is more pronounced, which makes it easier to navigate the code.
