Right. Although. I find the central terminal box soothing, because I tend to use green on black myself - but the white on green isn't so good and the default white of the page blares out at me when I'm trying to read the snippets.
I think possibly the answer is you've got two colour schemes there and want to split them - provide a "normal" black on white or grey on white or whatever for the people that prefer that, and one that's pure green on black (or purple/amber on black, probably pretty easy to supply all three once you've done one :) and a cookie to switch between 'em.
Of course, I'm not a designer at all but I'd happily accept a cookie to have everything in soothing black with green text - and it sounds like others probably would to make things more "normal" looking. I'm expressing no opinion whatsoever about which should be the default though ...

Minor nitpick... the color scheme hurts my eyes.
I like the color scheme actually. It makes all those small backquotes and weird characters stand out.

Yeah, the first thing I noticed when I opened the page was the harsh colors.
Colors work for me. Don't change.
Zee goggles, Zey do noting.
