I hope that was just a matter of preference for me but having enough eye floaters, I find myself suffering less while working with darker backgrounds.

Do you wear contacts? I've had the same problem with dozens of floaters swooshing around and got to the point where I had custom dark-background stylesheets for everywhere, but found that I could mostly tolerate white backgrounds again with glasses.

Needless to say I still use a dark background in my editor.
