Weird, I am the exact opposite.  I need a dark background to
concentrate on structured text.  My terminals and vim are always set
like that.  My eyes hurt if there is too much white on the screen, and
I think syntax-highlighted code looks just awful on a light
background. *shrug*

And be careful with comparing paper and CRTs; one selectively absorbs
and reflects radiation, while the other actually generates the
radiation.  Different design rules apply to each medium, IMHO. :-)  I
much prefer my printed materials to be dark-on-light.
