Late to the party, I've been using this for months.

It's not an #indieband discovery thread.

Sublime people are creating promo pages for something like IDE themes? That's interesting.

Sublime is a culture of people where a larger portion of the users are design oriented when compared to most editors.

Any scientific reason behind using a dark theme?

Does there need to be? People think it looks nice. I personally find text hard to read on a dark background, some people don't.

Not scientific, but I find I have less eye strain with dark themes.

I find using a dark theme when coding in the dark is better because the bright white background won't blast your face.

light themes are better if you have a glossy display and there's some sunlight since you won't see so many reflections

This is gorgeous. I wish there was one for Emacs :(

The scheme I use looks similar:

  (custom-set-variables
   '(custom-enabled-themes (quote (tango-dark))))
  
  (custom-set-faces
   '(default ((t (:family "Consolas" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight normal :height 90 :width normal))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-1-face ((t (:foreground "#A0FA67"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-2-face ((t (:foreground "white"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-3-face ((t (:foreground "yellow"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-4-face ((t (:foreground "dodger blue"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-5-face ((t (:foreground "hot pink"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-6-face ((t (:foreground "cyan"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-7-face ((t (:foreground "lawn green"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-8-face ((t (:foreground "firebrick1"))))
   '(rainbow-delimiters-depth-9-face ((t (:foreground "SeaGreen1")))))
  
  (require 'rainbow-delimiters)
  (global-rainbow-delimiters-mode)

If you like that low contrast style you might like the zenburn emacs theme. It is a bit too low contrast for me so I use hc-zenburn (high contrast zenburn)
