A lot of people who spend the day writing on a Computer prefer dark
backgrounds because for them it is less tiring. Dark text on white
background works well on paper, because paper reflects light and doesn't
emit it. A screen, however, emits light, which makes white really
bright.

I prefer dark backgrounds and find them more readable and a lot less
tiring for the eye than bright backgrounds.
