The black version feels more calm and inviting, while the white version looks a bit to IN YOUR FACE for me. Not into the brightness but i am going to leave it at white for now to see if i could get used to it

oh wow I didn't even know I could change it.  The white is a little too bright for my eyes.  I'll have to stick with black even tho I like nice brightly colored, clean websites.

The white skin needs a little work, but so far, I like it. I hope they fix the few color related inconsistencies.

I used to like the white, but not anymore. So Black it is.

Definitely black. Easier on the eyes and gives it a more sleek look in my opinion.

I want to pick white because it's racially superior, but once you go black...

Torn. Black site is easier on the eyes, but alot of secondary and tertiary text can be pretty hard to read. Gonna try it out for a few days.

I'm using white and liking it. Wish the bar at the top and bottom were white/gray though.

I like to use the white when I need to use the laptop as a flashlight or something, Black is much easier on my nerdy eyes though.

It doesn't matter if you're black or white.

I'm just used to the Black Bomb yet. I'm trying out the White Bomb right now, and it seems perfectly fine. I might wind up using the White Bomb at libraries or things like that, where I feel weird on black pages because there is always someone staring at your computer monitor. 
 
It is nice to have the option now. So yay I say.

I'm like white bomb so far, but I wish there'd be a bit more contrast between some areas.

Me, for one. 

Everyone percieves colours differently, and I know some people have claimed the white strains their eyes, but it's the exact opposite for me.  I found it impossible to read most articles on this website, and had to resort to copy and pasting them into notepad to manage.  Not to mention looking at the site for a period of time and then switching to a brighter one would really burn.
 
So yes, I'm very happy they brought back the white.  Even it the scheme isn't perfect.

Black for me. 
 
The white design is just too bright to look at comfortably. I like how clean the white design is, but the eye strain isn't worth the trade off.

I'm using the white one as we speak, and I'm finding it so much easier on the eyes. As has been said before, they could tone down the #FFFFFF slightly but it works for me. Don't get headaches reading things now.

Black because I have problems reading dark text on light background. Books are the bane of my existence.

I like the Gray one better. 
Haven't seen the black one yet :( 
 
In all seriousness though, your "black" version is the better one

I don't like the white, mostly because it looks like someone just dumped paint all over the site.

I've never understood the white site. It's too bright and shiny.

Black is a lot easier on the eyes, especially in the morning when my eyes haven't woken up yet.

Black backgrounds with white text makes my head hurt, white bomb makes me finally able to read more than a few pages before wanting to stop looking at the site.

Hmm, I've been using the white version all day and I'm starting to like it. Could make it my permanent color and feel decent about it.

Although I think the site looks cooler in black, I personally switch it to white because I have an easier time reading black text on a white background. 
I'm voting White Bomb.

While I like the look of black, I find white text on black backgrounds unreadable for longer periods of time, as it leaves nasty stripped afterimage on the eyes, don't have that issue with white.
