Can anybody actually work like this??
Yes. In fact I can only use light themes which is strange I guess. I like dark and also solarized themes, they look cool, but my eyes hurt if I try to use them. I have a long, long background in programming. I started with 8- and 16-bit computers back in 1980's and those had "dark" themes by default, although some computers like Commodore 64 has blue background. Then I got PC and used Turbo C++ default for years, it also has a dark blue background. But now I can't use anything else than light themes. My monitor settings are also not typical I think, I barely have any brightness, it's on very low value. That's how you don't have to stare at bright screen which is bad for your eyes anyway. Some people just blast the brightness and contrast settings through the roof, I don't know why.
