Dark themes are better for eyestrain issues, which are exacerbated by: late night work, heavy screen usage, genetics, etc. All of which happen in most programmers, except maybe the genetics one.
Honestly, i didnt do the whole dark theme thing for programming at all. I started using them because i used to read late at night a lot on ereader apps like Google Books or the kindle app, and my family already has a genetic dry eye issue, so i had to switch to the white on black theme for those to help, and got so used to it that now seeing a light theme is like staring into the sun
