> That outline is hidden at the lower left in a small box collapsed by default. It's as if VS Code doesn't want you to look at it. I agree with you here that you have to go one extra step to open the Outline panel in the left. I would rather the Outline panel be in the right. However, I don't use symbols that often. My workflow is a bit different. So I don't particularly miss this feature. When I really need to look up by symbol, I just use Cmd + R and just fuzzy search for it. > In the case of breadcrumbs, clicking on it with the mouse is probably faster than searching. Again, this is personal preference. I find Command Palette faster. You find Breadcrumbs faster. But I guess since you already use Emacs, it is fastest with Outline panel on the right. > I realize it's a unique workflow, that's why I want to know more why it's prioritized in every editor these days as I don't think this uniqueness qualifies it to ever become mainstream, much less prioritized. Maybe Telemetry data shows that the feature is used a lot. I don't know. Even if it was by default turned off, I would turn it back on because I just feel comfortable having it on the side. I use it subconsciously so whatever I gave you were mostly from what I could remember. It is only when it is off (or when I am using another editor), that I subconsciously try to reach for the mini-map and find it jarring when it is not there. I gave you few examples. But I am sure there are few more that I am missing out on.
