It looks nice and saves battery life on OLED screens.

I’m not expecting it to be “good for my eyes.”

White backgrounds have always hurt my eyes, been using dark mode for a long time as a result.

Yeah I don't think anyone thinks light mode damages their eyes. It's just bright and annoying with emissive screens (which is basically all of them currently).

I'll go back to light mode if/when we get high contrast high frame rate reflective screens.
