I've never understood people who use bright green on a black background or anything with that much contrast. It feels polluting to my eyes, like radioactive waste.

High contrast should be reserved for important items. That way they can have higher contrast than the surrounding text and stand out more.

I've seen a few people who program with just flat green on black. No syntax highlighting. I cry a little inside.

How is that different from flat white on black with no syntax highlighting?
