Comment on Ask HN: Your code editor, black on white or white on black?

Comments

I've found that black on white works better (for me) in daylight, and white on black in a dark room.

That's most likely because ambient light reflections are more noticeable when reflected by a dark screen than a light one. I do much of my coding on the train to and from work where the lighting is quite harsh and the angles unpredictable, so it's a light screen all the way for me.
