> That said, anything closer to VS Code will likely be perceived well. Citation needed Personally I have the opposite reaction to people cloning the VS Code UI: I find VS Code's model absolutely awful for most things, and even assuming someone _does_ find it useful, most attempts I've seen to clone its UI don't even come close to matching up to the quality of the original. I'm not sure why someone would ever have positive perceptions of an application trying to shoehorn itself into a competitor's UI to capitalize on another project's popularity.
