I have been using dark mode for years, usually green-on-black (though sometimes amber) for code editing and notes. Not all typefaces look good in dark mode however.

Maybe I prefer it because of retro-cool-nostalgia, but most of the time it just feels less stressful.

Dark mode also seems to be superior for phones and smartwatches in dark environments. One of these days I want to try red-on-black for reading and writing in a darkened room, as red light seems better for not interfering with night vision.
