I don't think that while ever ended! Have you seen Jetbrains' IDEs "new UI" (now the only UI except for a soon to be deprecated plugin)? You can't tell where a tab ends and the next one begins, it's just floating text on a solid background, with slightly more space between names. They also got rid of most labels, so it became a game of guessing what each symbol could possibly mean (another provably awful trend).
And the worst is, they're likely just copying competitors because as a sibling comment days, some people see the old accesible UI and think it looks old fashioned.
- watwut 2y agoThey are the trend setter. But yes, their new IDE looks good aesthetically but completely sux for use and discoverability.

- Wyverald 2y agoI love the new UI. Reduces a lot of visual clutter and lets me focus on the code. I don't understand the problem with telling where a tab ends and the next begins; I don't click on the borders of tabs anyway, just the text. (And there's an icon in front of the tab name.)
