I think it might be that the green is a bit too bright compared to the 
black. It sort of drills into the eye when reading it, especially with a 
screen full of text.

I suspect if the font was bigger or the green was a bit dimmer, it might 
be less problematic, for the same reason that using "dim white" or 
"gray" as the color on a black background works better than full white.

The current scheme is a lot better than some I've seen, though. There 
are a few truly terrible ideas out there (like blue on red or red on 
blue). And then there are the ones where partially colour blind types 
like me can't even see the text (brownish red on reddish brown is a good 
one there - saw some marketing material for a linux distro coloured that 
way one time).
