I&#x27;m usually in VS, where tabs are dominant, but I&#x27;ve used just about every editor under the sun and I&#x27;ve started to realize tabs are a pretty horrible UI. The first time I was forced to think outside the tab was with XCode (it has them but they don&#x27;t behave anywhere near the same). I despised it at first but eventually started preferring the &quot;assistant editor&quot; window and using tabs to separate areas of concern. I&#x27;ve used Vim a lot too and I used to keep trying to make it do the tab per file thing until I saw what XCode was going for and started using it more like that and have been much happier with it. In VS Code I think the working files list on the left is a far easier to read and navigate that tabs could ever be and Ctrl+Tab still works as expected. I&#x27;m hoping VS adopts some window layout ideas from VS Code and some other places too.
