The problem I have with light theme is contrast. I can't read skyblue text on cool white background.

Although the one light theme is quite good in that regard.

My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I've seen are too contrasty and I can't discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.

Fair enough, whatever works for you - but I feel like this is more of an exclusion and the majority of people are just too lazy to set their monitor brightness properly.
