Nothin' but Spacegray in ST3. The best.

Spacegray Eighties is my jam. Love the slightly higher contrast than the dark version.

Seti/Monokai Seti on Atom. I particularly like the icons.

I used to work on Atom solely because of this theme. Ever since I found a port for Sublime Text I've been so happy.
Nice! Can you tell me your main reasoning for going back to ST? I'm genuinely interested because I went straight from Coda2 to Atom. I haven't used ST much. What can it do (better) that Atom can't?
Well, for starters... it starts way faster. Atom gets sluggish sometimes (although they have improved this a bit in the last updates), but my main grip with it is that it takes 10+ seconds to open up the first time.
Another big turn off for me was the 2MB limit for opening files; sometimes I have large files (like SQL dumps) that I need to look at, and Atom refused to help me with those.
Other than that, not much actually (which is why I did stick with it for a while). The only other minor grip I had with it was the emmet plugin. Sublime's works better, in my opinion.
Interesting. As for file size limit, I haven't had an issue yet. But, I definitely did have problems with emmet interfering with autocomplete plus and my custom snippets. Ultimately, I only use a small % of the emmet shortcuts, so I just disabled it and wrote custom snippets for the ones I do use a lot. Good to know that ST doesn't have those issues.
I think the main reason I went with Atom over ST was because I want to publish some web design/dev tuts, and I knew it would be accessible to everyone since it's open source.
Great points, and thanks for the link to Seti on ST!

For Xcode, Terminal and Sublime text: http://zenorocha.github.io/dracula-theme/
Sadly, there's nothing similar for Brackets.

I use dracula too, but with a black background.
Looks great with a slightly transparent editor (to me)
Oh cool, a fellow vampire :D I actually really like the original bg color :)

I've been meaning to try and port Dracula but meh.

Just the plain old dark theme on brackets. I used to use sublime text but I always found some of its behaviours a bit annoying. And I still don't understand VIM.

Oblivion Color Scheme (https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/Oblivion%20Color%20Scheme) and Spacegrey.

This page's source shown in Vim + iTerm + Solarized Dark. I had to make my own "editor layout" - Simplebar but I'm perfectly satisfied now.

Over the past two year nothing has beaten Flatland for me!

Hey, cool. Something I can talk about.
I made two last summer when I used atom a lot more.

Predawn for Sublime and Atom is fricking awesome. Hard to work in other text editors/IDEs without this theme.
Steven Chen, almost 9 years ago Nice, I just started using this.
Account deleted almost 9 years ago (edited almost 9 years ago ) Recent started using Gravity on Sublime Text. It's a dark theme that complements Yosemite pretty well.

Afterglow is awesome.
