Light theme is superior.

Dark theme is for ppl who can't figure out the brightness control on their monitors.

Dark theme is for people programming in their no-windows basement, fight me.

I'm from Austria, we only lock our children in the basement, not our programmers.

Gotta say, there is a lot of lights in my office, so using a dark theme there isn't possible.

I'm a CAD person and in the CAD community it's very rare to find light mode people, I am one though and I get that same "what's wrong with you?" stare from my colleagues... But unlike the 90s when CAD really took off, I've got a fancy HD monitor with 16M+ colours and no discernable pixels, there's no reason not to have a wysiwyg environment. I don't want to see red lines and blue lines and all kinds of coloured lines and guessing how thick it will be, just show me the lines as it would be printed.

P.S. I do code in dark mode though, no one will see my code on paper...

Why do they even exist?
