Yes! I've said this for years, but now I've almost given up...
The eye needs a visual reference to properly judge brightness, and a bright neutral interface does that. A dark interface removes that critical reference. The problem with a dark interface is that it makes everything look good, it's too forgiving. I want to see what's wrong before the image goes out to wherever it's going, not after.
Yes, you can set the image backdrop to white or light gray, and that helps somewhat. However, it turns the whole interface into an over-contrasty and visually confusing chaos.
I'm sure you've all experienced an image looking perfect in LrC, only to become dark and muddy when seen against a white background or on white paper. I know it happens a lot to me, and I constantly need to go back and readjust.
