I've seen this idea mentioned before, and while I don't know for 'average user' for my near sighted old butt, generally working in a fairly dark room...
'Dark themes' are much easier for me to work with for long periods.
I like 'medium' contrast (ambers, yellows, greys, greens) on a dark background the best.
Yeah - I just find it interesting that I've gravitated to preferring darker environments for screen work...I see those 'room setups' where people have bright sunny windows near the computer and just think "oh god, the glare!" :-P
