New UI and VSC envy are good, it's already better than the old point-and-click adventure game UI they had.

AI thing will be good too. It's not more of a security nightmare or different than SO assuming that the IDE isn't leaking secrets.

They haven't had a "point-and-click adventure UI" for years. Pressing left Shift twice has been able to find ever single setting, button, code symbol, tool window, etc. since at least 2020.

I initially really disliked the new UI but since they trimmed the negative space around icons and even introduced a compact mode, I switched. My only dislike is that all buttons are monochrome.

Which made the point-and-click early 2000s-level "every control is visible at all times" UI pointless. The visual minimalism is better.
