Ever since Apple introduced Dark Mode on iOS and macOS I have adopted it with a lot of the apps I have created recently. And I usually change the theme on a website to dark as well. Like Twitter, YouTube and even dev.to.

Dark 💯. Much easier on the 👀
You know that they invented lamps, right?
Dark mode as long as the text colours are good and bright. I hate squinting.
Dark mode but not too colourful - I like my themes to be dark but pretty unsaturated
Pretty good but it's almost too unsaturated, if there was more of the orange from the main button for headings and stuff it would be really cool
Dark mode mostly but some apps/sites get it wrong and it just feels wrong.
I have the same feeling. Some dark themes are too dark. I really want a nice balance of maybe darker tones and some complementary colors, but not just a charcoal background. I usually end up using a dark theme and just play with the foreground colors until it feels right.
The worst are those auto color invert buttons. That's just a No!
100% this! That's why I made a VS Code theme specifically for Coding in the Sun!

Dark 🖤 black owl theme
Dark on mobile for sure, due to battery savings. I prefer it on "desktop" as well, and used it in Linux long before MacOS and Windows even thought of making it possible.
I enjoy dark mode personally but contrast matters a lot. Really enjoyed this article by a designer at Superhuman on delightful dark themes. blog.superhuman.com/how-to-design-...
In particular, her point on avoiding smearing makes a huge difference. Smearing happens when you use pure black background with pure white text (or something close to it). The pixels blur together and it can strain your eyes.
Good article useful reference for the next time I try to create a dark theme for something.
