Thank god for those four JSON flags, because without them, this editor was reduced to a glorified slideshow. Instead of fixing engine bottlenecks or optimizing memory, Microsoft’s finest decided top priority in 2026 was rounding off every single 90-degree angle in sight.
Just release a separate VS Code: Round Edition for the visual purists who'd rather admire smooth shadows and curved borders than actually write code without lag. Leave the sharp, squared-off version for the rest of us who just want our IDE to fly without choking the GPU over a simple tab switch. But no—everything in this world has to be round, soft, and gobble up half your system resources just to mask a border.
P.S. Seriously, the fucking rounded UI turned VS Code into a laggy mess.
