You don't need a voting disclaimer to talk about a color scheme, that just wastes words.
What exactly hurts your eyes? Are you fine with light gray on black? I can sort of understand disliking the amount of green, but if it's just because of the black background then you probably having lighting issues in your setup.
It's insanely high-contrast with a relatively light (thin) typeface and light-on-dark. While I fear the idea of having that neon green as the background instead as I may start glowing, having a slightly heavier font or a not-so-extreme green would have been a lot easier to read. Even when I had a green-on-black terminal it wasn't a problem, I believe because the font weight was a bit heavier and physically deciphering the characters was less taxing.
Seconded. Neon green on black is very, very jarring to read. White on black causes strain for large amounts of text. (There's a reason no news sites use white on black.) Lowering the contrast is bad enough, but the green clashes with the black and is downright painful.
Showing my age, but I worked for years in a dark room with a green screen terminal. I've long since made a habit of setting my terminals (regardless of OS) to exactly the same bright green on black. I do prefer the font bolded though. When I first started (rather shortly after--few years) CRT replacements became available for my favorite terminals. So if I wanted I could use either bright blue on black or bright red. Both surprisingly useful in darkened rooms!
