In terms of aesthetics, Monokai Pro is my favorite color scheme. However, what always stops me from using it is the fact that it is simply only available for an handfull of tools. Personally, a consistent look between the tools I use on a daily basis is extremely important to me. And that is exactly the reason for me to spend money on a color scheme or a programming font. I just don't want to spend hours or even days customizing themes for every single tool. Even though I personally don't like the color choices of the Dracula theme (https://draculatheme.com/) very much, I appreciate the fact that it comes preconfigured for almost every application. Wish there was a similar selection for Monokai Pro.

What do you use?

I tend to use the Nord theme wherever possible, and when I used GNOME, the Arc theme used Nord's color palette too.

I use Gruvbox Dark (hard) wherever I can. I found the community made themes pretty decent for this one. Can’t say the same about Monokai. I tried a few, but all of them looked different. They didn’t even use same color palette.

Nord looks very nice. But the lack of contrast in its colors makes it a bit too hard to read for me.
