It's the same experience for me.

I used to use dark mode every where because it was somewhat accepted that the lesser bright the better.

But then I read a science-based post years ago about why light mode is better for our eyes, especially for people with astigmatism, as our eyes are naturally used to focus on objects on bright scenarios (sunlight).

Switched back to light theme right away, except for coding, because actually syntax highlighting is better with dark background.
