I remember times (10 years ago?) when ‘light’ was considered normal and a friend would laugh at me for using white on black terminal and editor (actually VIM in a terminal) windows – „that is like old CRT monitors back in the day… now everyone normal uses black text on white background – like in Microsoft Word and everything, as that is natural”.
So often people would argue just for current trend and not what works for them. For me black background is a must for terminal or code editors, but I don’t mind light themes in typical desktop applications. Dark is as good, and maybe even better (not enough to bother me), provided it is consistent, at least within the application, preferable over whole system.
