Am I the only one who typically prefers light mode over dark mode on apps? There just always seems to be something about dark mode that just doesn't feel right to me or my eyes. It seems like maybe I'm a freak because of that preference, but luckily it hardly comes up in my day to day life so it's a secret I hide well.

1. It's not a big deal, use whatever you feel like
2. You might be in a well lit environment, which could explain why you like light themes more. Most dev environments and interiors are dimly lit, making dark modes better.

@RememberMe Exactly. This is what light/dark mode is intended for: Differently lit environments. That’s why I let my devices decide themselves based on received light or daytime.
Dark mode doesn’t make you a "real" coder. And light mode doesn't burn your eyes. It fucking depends.

I find most dark modes to be too dark and have too much contrast. I really do like the DevRant web dark mode though :) and I found a dark theme for my IDEs that I like as well. For general UI of my OS/apps/websites I usually use light mode because the dark is too annoying.
