    Lots of unnecessary whitespace, tabs changing colour to be confusing about which is selected…

    They hired a new design lead who wants to make their mark, didn't they.

      It definitely feels that way

      I would call it more of a stain on your career when you use border radius like this.

    I came for screenshots and there are none, nor are there in the linked issue this is marked a duplicate of.

    A gluttonous heaping dollop of border radius has been added to my favorite code editor. It is effecting my coding productivity, as the change is quite harmful to the eyes. The designers have been plaguing the web with this exponentially. It was only a matter of time before it spread to desktop electron apps. That time has come now, I have reported this visual bug to VScode.

      You probably mean "affecting". As a verb, "effect" means "to put into effect" or sometimes "to make more effective". Somehow I don't get the sense you meant either of those.

        Phew, thank you, their sentence was utterly incomprehensible without your correction. I couldn't possibly have guessed what they meant. Thanks.

    Can't some company just patent those rounded corners?

    I stopped using vscode because of their ui a long time ago and went to zed. Never going back.

      Honestly it is probably time I start using Vim.

        Vim is great. But Zed is more like VSCode in usage. And more lightweight too. Not as lightweight as vim tho :)

      This feels like the effective death of VSCode.

        I want to believe this post is sarcastic. But sadly you just can’t be sure…

    Tangential: who's still using VSCode in 2026?
