It’s just a fad. I never really enjoyed dark mode. I always liked to set my editor’s background to a slightly less bright value like #eee.

Dark mode doesn’t soothe the eyes at all. Just look away after using editor in darkmode and you have these bright patches on your retina. With normal dark onlight background, I never notice this.

Just a matter of not setting your monitor brightness to stupidlevels, for example on an iMac 50 to 60% brightness is plenty. On my iPad i hardly ever use 100% brightness.

I do like my terminal in classic dark mode, so maybe i am contradicting,myself? But it’s not the same: i don’t stare at the terminal continuously, idon’t edit in the terminal (eg. vim, i always use gvim).
