Tomorrow Theme

With something so preference-based, one is hard-pressed to argue better or worse without agreeing on the standards of evaluation. Put another way: I don't think discussing it in binary terms of "better" or not will do much good.

If you like Solarized, or it's good enough and not worth the trouble to switch away, simply don't.

Solarized wore on me after a while. I switched back to Monokai for Sublime Text but found that it was too bright for my taste when used in a terminal. I have since rolled my own subdued/pastel variant of Monokai's candy-bright colors in a few places.

This looks close enough to what I had that it will provide the feel I want, without me having to do much more work to port it to different environments or application configurations.

It's free, for one thing. IntelliJ is still for-pay if you want Java EE features, and while few of my projects are Java EE all of them use some EE features (JSF, especially).

I tried IntelliJ community edition and was not very impressed. The time/cost of switching is pretty high. I'm not sure what the value is I'd be getting for that effort--better completion? More graphical ways of doing things?

If I had $200 to blow on an IDE I would probably do it just to try, but I haven't even found $50 for Chocolat.

Definitely dark, I find my eyes feel more strained looking at themes with a light background.

My go-to for many years now has been the Wombat scheme (originally for vim here https://dengmao.wordpress.com/2007/01/22/vim-color-scheme-wo... but you can find ports to other editors such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, XCode, etc if you hunt around a bit).

I installed it for Sublime and the plain "Tomorrow" is like Solarized Light.. where as tomorrow night - xx are a collection of darker themes.
