Do you like it? I despise it, but it's growing on me. Was this supposed to reduce eye strain or something?

I love it. I am extremely sensitive to light, and I find it helps me get through a full work-day without a tension headache around my eyes. Note that I run my "blue-light mode" 100% of the time to also reduce brightness and mellow the colors.
Theory is it reduces eye strain, but I think that depends on how well designed the color scheme is. I've seen some dark modes that aren't customizable that make my eyes hurt worse than light mode due to poor color choices that make it tough to pick up details.

I'm awake at odd hours due to a segmented sleep pattern.
Bright light in an otherwise dark room is really hard on my eyes. Dark mode is a lot easier for me to look at.
VS Code slowly grew on me until I finally switched Visual Studio over as well.
Windows I switched separately but mainly because I liked the aesthetic of the theme in general, not because it was dark mode.

I didn't like it at first, but then I developed cataracts and dark mode helped negate the cloudy vision. Now that I've had cataract surgery I still like dark mode, it just seems like it places less strain on my eyes. I wish every web site and app had a dark mode option. (cough CP cough )

I am very light sensitive these days. I really need to stop reading when I go to bed. I'm an exceptionally light sleeper and very sensitive to ambient light changes. I refuse to bring my phone into the bedroom, see note below, but sometimes my MIL will text or accidentally text my wife (she's 65% into full blown dementia) and if that phone lights up, I'm screwed.
I've been up since 3am today, because it's useless to try to go back to sleep.
Anyway, so today I've learned in Opera (browser of choice) that dark mode is website dependent. Well, that's elephanting irrritating.
Weirder - the popups from code project are in dark mode. As I type this, not in dark mode.

Does CodeProject have a Dark Mode?
Anyway, it's really disconcerting when, after working an a Dark Mode IDE for some hours, you need to look something up and the the site has a put white (#FFFFFF) background!

I use a solarized light as opposed to solarized dark. But then I think I'm part mushroom, I like monitor glow.
A pale yellow or green works well for me. I'm opposed to dark modes for most things probably because I am old and crotchety (to reference a post above).
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I'm with you, really terrible.
I feel like there's a lot I don't see in dark mode because not all shapes and colors are converted to some other color equally well.

Depends on the context. Some web pages I'm just used to a light background. But, for many, many things it's all about dark mode. It's so much easier on the eyes. Stuff like VS Code, Sublime, my phone, Windows, and so on I'll never go back. I still keep Light Mode in MS Word though because IMO they did a poor job on the dark theme.

No! MS implementing something poorly? Inconceivable! 😱

I despise it, but then I only run into it when I'm using AutoCAD. At least it can be turned off, but it isn't easy finding the place to do so.

In my case, it's like with the truth law
Quote: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
I am at stage 3, as I like to use it for all my coding. To this degree that coding on white pages feels weird . It produces really less strain in the eyes. But doing any "paper work" like writing in Word, feels weird with black paper , that's why I prefer normal writing on white background. Therefore, in my case - it depends (i.d. Jeremy) ...

Who is the idiot who designed dark mode without a way to indicate which window has active focus by highlighting the title bar somehow? Sh*t - that was done way back in Win 3.1 or earlier, wasn't it?
Other than that, and many dark mode themes not having enough contrast by using dark text, it is OK by me.

I don't. I feel like dark mode is generally harder on my eyes and somehow it is harder to find things in code with dark mode on. I don't know if that's a real thing.
I generally favor a mildly bright screen with night light on, but never in a dark room.

While it's not my preference from a visual stand-point, I now have it activated on both my phone and this laptop for the same reason - battery life.
LCDs use the least power on white pixels, since you aren't powering the shutter which obscures the backlight.
OLEDs use the least power on a black pixel, since you aren't powering the LED which makes the light.

We've gone full circle. The early (text only) VDU terminals were black background with green text (or, from one manufacturer, orange text); then someone decided to emulate paper - black text on white background; now you can choose.

Yeah, I also found the Dillo browser[^], but it looks like it is unsupported now too.
