I prefer dark mode because it is better to serparate code and non-code application.
Besides, good theme can help you.

For light mode, I prefer some not to bright such as Solarized Light theme or any theme without white background. White background is too bright for coding.

agreed! Which is why I love that Codesphere's light mode is predominantely grey toned.

It turns out that Quiet Light is a bit better for me. I try using something live Solarized light or gruvbox. VSCode looks "incorrect" with those themes. It likes my screen display wrong color.

Quiet Light for light theme and Nord for dark theme.

I find Sepia is a good alternative to white themes.
