    Let's play the "I like/dislike dark mode game". The rules are simple, you get to state in one sentence the most important reason you like or dislike light or dark mode. You get to add one sentence only, not entire paragraphs. Be funny. Be serious. It's up to you. Just stay civil and don't start a religious war over someone else's preference. I'll start: I dislike dark mode because all I can see on a bright sunny afternoon is the dust on my monitor. Your turn.

    I like dark mode because it hides the fact that I haven't cleaned my screen in months.

      I like dark mode because light mode is too bright when you're recovering from a hangover.

        I dislike dark mode because it reminds me I'm not reading a real book.

                I like black text in dark mode, because it weeds out crappy developers who aren't serious.

                  I'm sorry, I cant read this because I made the mistake of opening CodeProject, which doesn't have a dark mode, at night and now I'm blind.

                        As I say with music: "Every moment has its music and every music has its moment", I like both modes, each one in its concrete situation.

                        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                          I do not like dark mode because I can't focus, I have no explanation for that. It makes me dumber.

                                    I prefer light grey text rather than pure white and (very) dark gray rather than black. I am slightly photosensitive and prone to sensory overload, I found that mild lighting and mild contrast help me a lot.

The rules are simple, you get to state in one sentence the most important reason you like or dislike light or dark mode. You get to add one sentence only, not entire paragraphs. Be funny. Be serious. It's up to you. Just stay civil and don't start a religious war over someone else's preference. I'll start: I dislike dark mode because all I can see on a bright sunny afternoon is the dust on my monitor. Your turn.

                                      I like dark mode because I get migraines and the light sensitivity is brutal.

                                        Let's play the "I like/dislike dark mode game". The rules are simple, you get to state in one sentence the most important reason you like or dislike light or dark mode. You get to add one sentence only, not entire paragraphs. Be funny. Be serious. It's up to you. Just stay civil and don't start a religious war over someone else's preference. I'll start: I dislike dark mode because all I can see on a bright sunny afternoon is the dust on my monitor. Your turn.

                                        I don't like dark mode as it's too dark, and I'm afraid of it.

                                          I use dark-mode because I'm a tight-arse and the battery lasts longer, even though I prefer the aesthetic of light-mode.
