VS Code's configuration is a GUI skin over JSON, so that's probably what they should do with the terminal as well.

Yea. But that was added later, and theres still important JSON build-system files that you need to edit manually to this day. JSON isnt descriptive enough to auto-translate the raw files into a functional GUI. They seem to think its better off as text, but that goes against everything else on Windows mentality, and its not documented properly.
they probably will but code did not launch with that GUI. if it's going to be like the other modern settings UI I'm in no rush for them to either.
