Especially for art software lmao!! I'm very use to very light backgrounds for drawings. I try to not use pure white for obvious reasons, but is also quite uncomfortable to me use midgrey tones as the canvas background, so I use yellows or light grey colors
Blender 2.7 and the versions that came before were a perfect fit for this meme. They overhauled the UI for Blender 2.8 and made the default color scheme a much darker grey, so Blender has not fit this meme for quite a few years.
IMHO the best UI is if there's barely any area that constantly stays at background color, i.e. utilize the area or slim the toolbar so thin that it's barely there.
