You know, dark modes probably started in advanced digital imagery packages (most cinema grade movie compositors were like that). I get that Adobe suite came from a mac-like culture, and I would probably feel a bit like you about the change, but I'd understand the "value" for image edition.

Not trying to contradict you, just adding a tiny bit of historical trivia.

I think I dislike the current UI because I am so used to the other style (the unstyled windows one from the pre-CS 5 era, never really used a mac). Dark mode never bothered me in Lightwave or Avid.

What bothers me is the reinventing of common widgets but I suppose there must be some very valid reasons for that.

Dark themes have been around since at least the windows 3.0 days. I worked for a company making a "mobile" client in that time-frame that ran on laptops of the era. We had a button in our application that fliped the global windows theme between a high contract day look, and a dark night theme. IIRC both were default windows themes at the time.

And frankly back then I don't remember any applications not actually following the windows theming. It was only later in the late 1990's that I started to notice a lot of applications failing to follow the UI theme settings. Initially that was one of the big problems with java applications, they didn't look like windows apps, and they didn't follow the color settings.
