Cons
Con Bad theme
First of all, in the Tomorrow Theme official repository, the IntelliJ Idea theme is just a color scheme. Second of all, it looks very bad on IntelliJ.
Con Looks bad
At least on Neovim.
Con Too much blue
People caring about the color intensity in their screens, will notice that this theme is not useful for night use. If you use software like Flux to dim the blues in your screen this theme loses its enchant.
Con Low contrast
Comments for example, have very low contrast against the background which makes it harder to read.
Con Vanilla version doesn't work with htop
Half of the usernames in htop have the same color as the background.
One has to use a patched version of htop.
