Would love something like this in VS Code so I could smoothly zoom in and out of my code rather than scrolling and clicking tabs.

Or if anyone wants to do an IDE like this, take it as an inspiration. Raskins thought it through very well.

Say more! How does the existing zoom function not do enough?

[shannifin]

The Ctrl +/- zooming? It's not smooth, it's limited, it's just font resizing, not zooming back from a plane as you'd get in 3D, where the center would remain constant. Scrolling still required for navigating (if I zoom out at the top and want to zoom in to the bottom, I still have to scroll down to it), and still limited to one file at a time.

Likely not technically feasible at the moment (without sacrificing font quality and too many other features of code editing)

So you’re saying you want some kind of orthographic zoom?

Yes
