Cool idea of making it available across so many different applications, but I wish it was aesthetically pleasing. It just doesn't do it for me...

Nord also has ports for some applications (Emacs, Guake and Tmux are those I care about). Unfortunately, not for all daily apps yet. https://www.nordtheme.com/ports
I prefer something more toned down -> https://www.nordtheme.com/ports

Can confirm the potential astigmatism reason, which I have, and also struggle with dark themes. For some odd reason, maybe there is an expert here, crisp light shapes on a dark background make it either super obvious to a person that the shapes are malformed or it forces their eyes to strain more to compensate.
It’s good to know that I am not alone. There’s this general aspect of not being cool when one is using light theme. How do we tell them that it’s not by choice? I really like the look of someone working in that dark theme and tried a lot to force myself into it only to fail miserably and come back to light theme.

It sounds like glasses (or lenses) would help you. Glasses can fix astigmatism! I can understand though that someone might not want to bother with glasses if the problem is easily fixed by using a light theme.
I have glasses but possibly due halation as mentioned here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29494640 still find light writing on dark backgrounds to be an issue. Contacts aren’t an option because my astigmatism is strong enough that a rotation of 2 degrees throws them off. But separately from eyesight issues I thought there was some evidence to suggest that aesthetic preferences aside, dark lettering on lighter b…
I have read about that research but I don't think we can conclude from it that dark backgrounds are a fad. They have other advantages (e.g. matching the dark room I work in) and besides, most dark themes are not pure white on black, but something less contrasting.
I'm impressed that Dracula Pro generated over $189,389.50. It's cool that they managed to make money from their color scheme.
Yeah it's pretty cool that somebody could market a color scheme.
Although that would take a lot of work to figure out the compatibilities, if somebody would do that well enough so that other people can configure input output configs for that, I bet that program could become very popular among developers.
I have a hard time seeing why this is such a popular theme.. maybe it's just because it is available for so many different editors. On the other hand, would be cool to have an application / database that could convert any theme to another editor. Although that would take a lot of work to figure out the compatibilities, if somebody would do that well enough so that other people can configure input output configs for t…

I envy those who can use dark colour schemes. It hurts my eyes for some reason.
Some reason = probably strong myopia or astigmatism. I have those issues and with dark themes (or just in the night when I’m tired) my eye’s lens tend to open so widely that my vision becomes blurred because the focus point of my eyes is now behind my glasses. If you support contact lenses, it’s an issue they can effectively fix because the focus point can never be behind your correction lens.
