I like dark mode because our renovated office space has LED lighting which is much brighter than before, and light text on a dark background is easier for me to read with my visual issues.

I like dark mode because I am a vampire and have light sensitivity!

I like dark mode because I spent a lot of money on an OLED monitor.

I tried now more than a handful of times dark mode (specifically in VS). In general I don't last more than a day, last time I used it for a week, maybe a bit more. One day I decided I couldn't take it anymore. I don't know why. I am now using a beige background, actually now is like a muted mustard color.
Why I try dark mode (theme in VS) once in a while? Because I felt it has a lot of detail in differentiating various bits of code and I find that useful, sometimes. And other days I am ashamed as it looks like a circus.
Until the day they'll ban it because of privilege reasons, I'll use the white background.

Because of low vision, I sit close to the monitor, so that light mode is like staring directly into a 100 watt lightbulb.
Bonus answer: Dark mode consumes less energy on emissive displays like OLEDs.

Drop the brightness. That's most people's problem.
2 of my monitors have their brightness at 0. On one, I set the contrast at 40. The other at 75.
My primary display is a 4K TV, with the brightness at 50 and contrast at 75. People hold up their phones next to them and comment how dark my monitors are. Yes. That's entirely intentional.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, but inverse video works better for me. High contrast with the background plus low overall brightness, and videos don't look washed out.

I had cataracts. Dark mode was vital to my working. At that time, a white background would overwhelm the text. I've since had the surgery on both eyes and I good now.

After three rum and cokes, some of the language choices seem to be not completely illogical.
I'm sure when I come back to the macros I'm writing when completely sober tomorrow, VBA will make my eyes start bleeding again.

VB is in many ways far easier to read than C# - verbosity for the win. Using keywords helps map control structure end points back to their starting point without having to count braces. Where VB does fall flat on its face syntactically is writing LinQ queries.

My favorite is CHILL (CCITT High Level Language) which allows you to label any block. The block is enclosed in braces, and between the closing brace and the semicolon, you may optionally repeat the label. If it doesn't match the label of the block, the compiler will produce an error message.
Using the labels is optional; for tiny blocks you can use the braces only, for compact code. A label can be made far more descriptive than just identifying the kind of block. And the label is useful for flow control: You can directly leave an outer block from an inner block (possibly in multiple levels) by specifying the label of the block you want to leave; yo don't have to do it level by level (which probably requires a mess of variable flags for getting past the iteration control at the intermediate levels).
In the C family, when a loop/if exceeds 10-12 lines I have made it a habit to repeat the if, while or for condition at the closing of the statement as an end-of-line comment, to get a CHILL-style readability improvement, but I can't make the compiler produce a warning/error if I do not make the nesting right.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

The bad thing about Visual Basic is that it strays from actual BASIC too much. Panders to the least-skilled developers.
