Most software developers as well, not just designers, like dark modes for their software, not because it is « fashionable », but because it’s easier on the eyes when you spend long hours in front of the screen, and it is less distracting.

Being one of them i prefer the middle way of blue/yellow mode.
I’m not sure if i would buy the dark mode is easier to read argument on good monitors but it is for sure that syntax coloring only works well on darker backgrounds. And syntax coloring was one of the best inventions in the world of code editors since we moved from edlin to emacs.

This worked until yesterday, but after updating to 10.14.6 today, this method no longer appears to work as expected. The apps that show up when I select “Sort by Release Date” are not actually sorted properly by release date. I assume this is just a temporary bug. Any other new software watchers noticing this?

Well, the App Store and the Mac App Store have never sorted reliably by release date (or indeed, by any other filter criteria). It’s a major weakness.

Oh yes, Emacs has had dark mode for 40 years!
