I use a big font on a black background because it doesn't strain my
eyes as much.  I started out with Monaco 9pt (or bitstream vera sans
mono 9pt on linux) on white.  Slowly though I kept getting more
frequent headaches.  Now I use black with big fonts and I'm fine.  I
have really good vision and all that, but just hours of coding will
get to me.

As a side bonus, using a bigger font also helps me adhere to wrapping
at the 80 character margin too.
