I see this complaint all the time, and it's really annoying. It's just a matter of opinion. I program in vim with light-colored text on a black background. For the longest time, I used the compiz window manager so that I could invert the color of my Firefox window so that web pages would have light text on dark backgrounds.
I'm betting that the real issue is alternating from one to the other. If you spend all your time looking at dark on light and then try to switch, I can see how it could be an issue. But the opposite is also true. At least light text on a dark background has another good thing going for it... you're not staring at what is effectively a light bulb.
Either way, can we please stop talking about this? At least half of the submissions that lead to such a page have a comment like this. It comes off as complaining and laziness, since if you really wanted to read it, you can simply highlight the text, use copy-paste, or any number of other solutions (the "No Style" suggestion was a good one).
