Aesthetic Preference
Many developers prefer the look of dark themes, finding them more visually appealing and comfortable for prolonged use.
Focus and Contrast
Dark mode often offers better contrast between text and background, which can help in focusing on the content and reducing distractions.

Legibility Issues
Some users may find text harder to read on dark backgrounds, especially if the contrast is not well-calibrated.
Compatibility
Certain UI elements or third-party plugins may not support dark themes well, leading to a suboptimal user experience.
Cognitive Strain
Switching between dark and light contexts frequently in different applications or workspaces can cause cognitive strain or discomfort.
