SQL Server Management Studio still has no dark mode, although there is a hidden one that Microsoft really doesn’t want you to use (I think you need to change a registry flag, also it sucks). But I think Azure Data Studio might.
Never heard of dbeaver, but I use JetBrains DataGrip 99% of the time, which looks the same as every other JB IDE (not bad). There are some super clunky but occasionally useful SQL Server tools in SSMS but for typical dev work there’s nothing you really need.
Almost every professional developer that I know uses dark mode. Maybe 1% uses light mode and those are people who code in legacy environment.
And for web, you have Dark Reader 🤷 so no bright lights when browsing web.

Personally I’ve been using lot of dbeaver for my database needs (mysql, oracle, postgress, apache drill, sqlite) which has a dark mode.
It should also work with sql server, but I’m not sure if is it’s missing some of the tools people need 🤔

DataGrip is a very good choice also. And JetBrains products are very good, if you can get a license, I would usually recommend those.
But I just prefer dbeaver because it’s free to use, so I don’t have to worry about license at work or at home 😄
Azure Data Studio uses vs code so it definitely supports full dark mode thankfully
