  • fwiw, VS Code has 3 “tooling areas” - for the lack of a better name - other than the editor itself:

    A panel (bottom area) and two sidebars: primary (usually on the left) and secondary (usually on the right).

    You can drag and drop tabs in each of these areas to move things around, and even split one of these areas to hold two or more things.

    e.g.:

    • you can make the sidebar share “file explorer” and “git”;
    • put “terminal” and “outline” together on the secondary side bar;
    • move “docker” to the bottom panel

    it’s pretty flexible


  • not without “breaking” the install, like in this extension. I’ve been wanting a way to set the font family for the UI, but that’s not exposed by the settings and it would require this kind of “surgery”. I never liked the idea of messing with VS Code files, so I never bothered changing this.

    Out of curiosity, I don’t get the “blocky” complaint; what kind of layout do you have in mind? Any apps that implement it?










  • Here’s a shocking (/s) observation: it’s about different things for different people.

    For seniors like the author, it may be about companies trying to replace them with cheaper professionals. For companies, it may be about renewing the workforce. For product owners / tech leads, it could be about the opportunity of using a rewrite to pick a stack that better aligns with the problems they’re trying to solve. For regulators it may be about its safety features and eliminating entire categories of common issues. For juniors, it may be about choosing a language they actually like working with.
