What does HackerNews think of gruvbox?

Retro groove color scheme for Vim

Language: Vim script

I don't think we need a thread for every single terminal colorscheme out there, but gruvbox is my favourite by far. Warm earthy tones, comes in light or dark with 3 contrast options, and no pretentious waffle about color theory or being inspired by childhood holidays or whatever

Don't feel stuck! I think the world has gone a bit mad chasing "dark mode" for text everywhere. This must be highly personal, but light themes really reduce the fatigue on my eyes, and I've always found them preferable too. Maybe it's really the dark mode people who are stuck?

If you like solarized light, you might want to try gruvbox light [0], which I find even easier on the eyes.
