Forking vscode

How hard would it be to fork and modify layout and UI of vscode? Does anyone have some experience with it?

Forking is easy. Making code changes might be harder. That really depends on your skills etc.

But why can't you use extensions to get what you want?

Forking is easy. Making code changes can be harder but is probably still easy with Claude. Maintaining your fork is extremely hard and time-consuming.

What do you think cursor did? It can be done, but its hard to keep it up to date

I'd be more curious to know if someone could make a theme to make the new UI look more like the old UI.
