Does anyone else have issues wrapping their head around the UI and configuration of VSCode? Or is this a symptom of my losing touch with how IDEs work vs. my old habit of solo coding in Vim and running scripts? Everything is monocolored, everything feels like it's an add-on, and settings are in weird different places rendered as json or a web page feel. Last time I used a "real" IDE was 2008, so I may be the problem here.
