Thank you for explaining this, I've had the same experience as the OP so was very interested when I saw the title. And I echo their sentiment that the 1st gen SE is the best phone I've ever had. Just bought 3rd gen SE (hardware on the 1st gen SE was dying) and while it's decent, I really miss the form factor of the original. The very first thing I do in VS is to disable the git plugin and the AI assisted autocomplete. I've never found that autocomplete to be better than having the ability to predict what autocomplete was going to suggest.
