For an article I'm writing; what's your favorite editor/terminal color scheme? How long have you been using it, and what did you use before? And, perhaps most importantly, do you use the same scheme in your editor and terminal? Bonus points for posting screenshots of your setup in action!

Dracula - draculatheme.com/
I've been using it for around 1+ year and I used to be a one dark theme user.
I use gruvbox for pretty much everything, though I tweak it a little bit (darker backgrounds in Vim, transparent background in terminals with an almost-black textured image as the background instead).
I've been happy with this since the day I discovered it:
Before this I used (probably) something like Tango for the terminal colours and Molokai or Jellybeans for Vim. I can't work well with light backgrounds.
I can't stand Solarized or its derivatives, which seems to be everyone's go-to scheme. I'm aware that Gruvbox takes some inspiration from Solarized but it does it in a much less annoying way and my customisations are mostly to up the contrast anyway.
Cobalt2 by WesBos for VSCode (6 Months)
A slightly modified robbyrussell for the zsh-terminal (it's the default theme) (For Years)
The Leuven Theme for Emacs (Org-Mode) (Two Weeks)
I use the Liberation Mono Font for everything. (Since Handmade Hero came out)
Vim(github.com/vim-scripts/greenvision) or Atom(atom.io/themes/hacking-the-kernel)
Started using the one in Atom about 2-3 years ago, Once you go green you won't change your theme!
Loving that retro look! I've been pondering switching to a monochrome theme, but never got around to actually doing it. I might try one soon. :)
It's sad that the vim repo doesn't have a img, so here you go minio.int.lubek.info/dropshare/POW...
I was switching themes a lot, monokai, dracula, material and many many more. After switching to this one I don't even feel the urge to look for a new one! :D
I used Atom for a while, but switched to Visual Studio Code for general purpose development and I have been amazed with it. I like to use DuoTone Themes - Dark Space.

I love An Old Hope! I've either found ports or ported it to pretty much everything I use: Hyper term, iTerm2, VS Code, Vim, etc.
⚛️ Atom theme inspired by a galaxy far far away...

UI Integration
This theme best integrates with Atom's One Dark UI. By default, UI is left untouched. If you want the modified UI (as shown in the screenshot below) for better colour matching between UI syntax theme, add the following line to your Init Script and reload Atom.

I use that one too! I hadn't considered porting it over, but now I'll have to look into getting it into RubyMine cause I prefer it over what I'm using there (Monokai).
I am using VS Code with Neuton Pro theme
My own: vim termite
They've been in their current state for about a year, but had been taking shape gradually for around another year before that when I migrated to Linux and decided to put some effort into colorschemes instead of just using the defaults.
Awesome setup :)
Customized Solarized Light ethanschoonover.com/solarized
I customize solarized because default Solarized has too much contrast for some colors.
I use almost same themes for VSCode, Xcode, iTerm. And I'v using this theme more than 5 years.
For now I feel board using this theme. I'm looking for another light themes.
I was used to Solarized Dark, but a few months ago I switched to Zenburn in my terminal and Emacs, and I'm happy with it.
tl;dr: boring default light theme.
I could never find a theme that worked well enough across iTerm, vim, Sublime, IntelliJ and Xcode.
My eyes also don't like adjusting between dark themes, word, outlook, wikis, and other webpages (nearly every thing is "light theme" without jumping through hoops).
So for consistency's sake, I just go with the default "light" theme everywhere.
iTerm: tango light
vim: colorscheme default
Sublime: Breakers
IntelliJ: default
Xcode: default
I use the "Monokai Dimmed" built-in theme on VS Code
Here's mine. Yes, I'm a villain.
I've been using a light theme since I got irked from tabbing from a dark themed editor into light coloured websites in the middle of the night with lights off. My eyes can't handle the total colour change. Most websites doesn't have night mode so I chose to be a villain. (White theme!)
I also use PaperColor for my VS Code and Vim.
Long live light theme!!
Thank you! PaperColor is almost what I was looking for. It has some minor low contrast issues (mostly with 3rd party extensions), but I love it
That’s the only reason I was excited for Apple’s Dark Mode announcement —Hopefully I can poke around on my MBP at night without being blinded
Browser addons to the rescue - try "Dark background light text" for Firefox.
First off, props for being a villain and proud. We need more like you around.
That said, if you would like to try the dark side again, I recommend looking into Dark Reader. I'm not sure if they have a Firefox version or not, but I use it on Chrome and it's a lifesaver. An easy click will turn the dark version off or on for any site.
You've inspired me to become a villain and use a light theme from now on!

I use a customized version of gruvbox on my Vim since several years and i never changed it anymore. I love it so much.
I use VS Code and was using Cobalt2 as a theme and going between it and Dracula. For the terminal, I'm on fish shell and use the Agnoster theme when using Cobalt2 and the Joker Theme when using Dracula in my editor.
My Visual Studio Code Setup
ℕ𝕚𝕔𝕜 𝕋𝕒𝕪𝕝𝕠𝕣
However, recently, I switched to the Night Owl theme in my editor.
I've been using Fira Code for quite some time now as I'm a big fan of its font ligatures, but recently I purchased Dank Mono. I never thought I'd pay for a font, but I just think it's 🔥!
So here's my latest screenshot of my editor/terminal
I've never considered moving the explorer to the right. I'm gonna try that!
Fira is the best!
