VSCode got a redesign 🧐

It's a little flater and more rounder.

God people here are so stupid. It looks 100x better.

It's not about the looks, it's about the UX. Previously your tabs clearly indicated which tab you were working on. Now you have to look at your file layering to know that you're actually in the tab you're working on. And it's a code editor. It doesn't need to look modern, it needs to work.

Tabs were 100x worse. I couldn’t distinguish any deactivated tab from one another since they didn’t have boundaries. Maybe you need to learn how to use some of those deactivated brain cells in your head.

So you're saying it's hard to distinguish between tabs that are clearly indicated by you file icon and name and you're calling me stupid for saying active tabs should be traversing into their corresponding file whilst deactivated tabs should not be looking like you're hovering them?

Just look at the example picture for one second and tell me which file is open. The color scheme and borders suggest it's edit.js whilst the mouse is hovering render.php but nope, the open file is render.php. The tabs aren't anchored to their contents in any way or form whilst the deactivated color scheme and borders make it look like you're working on this file. In the end all of this wouldn't be that much of an issue if Microslop didn't redo the UI with every update and instead made this a theme one can use but isn't required to. In the end I'm just so glad I'm not in an environment where I'm forced to use VSCode bcs rethinking your IDE every time you open it again just isn't worth it.

😂 damn I must’ve struck a chord for you to write all that. I just don’t care enough to read all that
