I spend a lot of my time in Neovim in a terminal. I have spent a lot of time on the setup, but everything (including the theme and colors) is optimised for legibility, not aesthetics. Most of the rest of my time is spent in Firefox (well, Waterfox these days) with the default dark theme.

This is true whether I'm on my laptop running macOS or my desktop running Fedora.

Incidentally, if I was using some native-ish editor like Xcode and a native-ish browser like Safari, I would probably care way more since I'd be interacting with Liquid Glass more as a primary UI. Now it only really touches the stuff surrounding what I care about, while my terminal, editor and browser are all blissfully non-native.

My IDE provides 98% of the pixels on my screen and provides 90% of the overall experience. That’s why it gets all the attention. If the OS is able to show my IDE on one screen and a web browser and UNIXy terminal on the other, it’s working.
