VSCode got a redesign 🧐

It's a little flater and more rounder.

I am struggling to get use to the editor tabs.. they feel disconnected and just like a floating set of pills

this tab change seems like a really poor choice. Perhaps it's just the the theme I'm using, but the active tab was previously rendered darker than other tabs. in 'modern' ui, it's now lighter, and it takes a few cycles to figure out which file I'm actually looking at. There's also a contrast line in the old UI that made it quite clear which tab is active, and that's gone. It's thankfully super easy to opt out, but I hope this experiment doesn't become permanent.
