i u are gonna design a developer tool, then u need a developer to design it, we don't need A Ui designer to design A developer Tool

Changing the logo is a problem because Visual Studio is an entirely different product to Visual Studio Code.

i am sorry, but a secondary tab bar to a primary one is just an ux nightmare. it is second only to a modal opening a modal... also, you can not just simplify "vscode" to "visual studio", as they are two totally different products.

Also, the projects can be huge .. the problems tab by default only lists probelms in currently opened file, but your design suggests that it should list all the problems, across different files in the project. This can be extremely intensive in terms of computation for what is supposed to be a "code editor" (and not an ide). Similarly, having multiple projects open in the same window, when the projects are big, all of them have to be loaded, which will be memory expensive. The above problems will lead to a bad and janky user experience.. to make it all worse, you only have one window which goes unresponsive when any one of the project causes issues.

I dislike the project switching tab ui...

In reality most of those things are already present or achievable using extensions. One of the best features of the VSC is the ability to customize it. So for example have the primary sidebar on the right (I personally don’t get why somebody would do it, but a few colleagues has it setup like that), or for example move there the terminal etc.

wanted to say that they updated their page and its looks like it took some "clues" from you :D

Amazing video. Loved the tips on information architecture. Watching and subscribed from Nairobi, Kenya.

Damn! Looks so good. Can you redesign my life😍

as long as it makes my text colorful im happy

Idk, i think that's to much stuff on the top... window border, workspace tabs, file tabs, breadcumbs, and finally the code. It reminds me of Internet Explorer back in the days when you installed a bunch of viruses and you got a bunch of stuff on the top. Waste of pixels overall

meanwhile I'm CURL-ing the download.

this design is too mac centric, and copilot can f off that should be optional to install not optional to show on the ui

How did you manage to clutter VSCode? How man? Also, we don't care about copilot

Forcing sticky scroll made me ressurect tge editors that raised me. (yes, i know you can disabe it, but why is it on in the first place)

Your Concept towards the VS code editor. It's nice, but there are some absence of, the tab which consist of files, edit, selection, run and much more and some missing of refresh, remote and "ctrl + p" or "ctrl + shift + p" tab. I am happy with your concept, but there are many missing features Let me take more space to adjust the IDE.

React: :/

No one building actual software gives af about the aesthetics of a landing page

i guess they saw your video

Loved it ❤

Disgustingly beautiful 😍, you need to send a proposal for this man. This needs to be the next visual studio code refactor

Is it possible to get the vscode redesign as theme or something or is it just figma?

This literally looks like zed

Haz un rediseño de Visual Studio

To be honest, your redesign looks so much better and intuitive than the "new" Visual code website. i love to see these redesign videos, they are so inspiring! Keep up the great work!

Congrats you copied a jetbrains idea👏🏾👏🏾

Few suggestions: - Move the git to the bottom on the left panel. And get that copilot shit outta here xD - The search is vague. What does it search ? Folders/Files or contents of the files ? - Get rid of the left redundant git menu between the bottom of the text editor and the terminal. And move the Line Col info to the right hand side of the bread crumbs. - And no one cares about the copilot thing. - Also avoid 2 groups of tabs. Make projects a different control, like a drop-down maybe (idk). Also wastes vertical space.

Just use zed

-1 i would say, I loved your work but I don't think it will be that practical

I didn't die with cringe because the software is quite good, and I just downloaded the product without thinking about how the landing page looks. Plus it has been 5 years since I did it. Later versions were just downloaded from the command line or the app store

Subscribed! Nice redesign. I would like to code the website. Would you be so kind to share the figma file? Let me know. Bests.

Project switching tab seems a great ideia. I would like to try it out. But I can see some concerns around memory

NO WAY THEY UPDATED THE PAGE IT LOOKS THE SAME!!

Nice job !

The poor developer that has to put this page together probably screams in images right now...

Great design. I might be able to create a custom code editor with that design, but I would need your permission first.

Oh wow. You've got no idea why people like VSCode. Go back to Intellij or whatever IDE made you used to these terrible approaches. The very first 'feature' you added Was already terrible. If I've got a different project that I want to reference, I still want to recognize it as a different project, so I very much WANT it to be in a different window. I agree that opening another project is a lot of work, and it's easy to 'replace' your currently opened folder (=project) by mistake. So instead address that, and add an easy way to open a new editor from a folder instead of replacing the currently opened folder. If you really need to reference both projects from the same editor, then usually you can simply open a common parent folder with both. Your approach takes up space and takes away focus. The next thing I saw while skipping through was you adding a prominent git branch display with selection to the file hierarchy. Again, a fail. You do realize that the branch is already displayed, and you can switch it? The status bar at the bottom displays the branch, if you've opened a git repo, and allows you to change branches with a click. If you want more information, or want it bigger, you know what you should do? Use the freaking sidebar, that you JUST before this said you will keep. It has a nice big git icon, put your stuff in there. Then you think that copilot is the reason big companies use VSCode. Lol. Yeah I don't think so. I think that most of these big companies probably forbid you from using copilot outside of test projects, to avoid secrets being leaked to MS or OpenAI. Also, you know what, VSCode was the most editor popular BEFORE LLMs were a thing. What's actually happening is that MS owns VSCode and wants to use that market position to help the adoption of Copilot. Also, going to your introduction... I also don't know I agree with that statement. I mean, have you seen the 'product page' of, like, git? Oh on, I just remember the Java landing page. Last time I checked that out (before I learned to just get an OpenJDK distribution, like ~2021?) it looked like it was straight out of 2002.

well, visual studio code is not the same as visual studio, I would leave the word code nor to confuse people.

This is a good redesign. I really like it. But I'd still prefer a dedicated page for Pages. I use quick edit feature a lot and that is missing in this vertical Page design.

Nah. I don't like it. It looks like very MacOS design. Microsoft has done good job with Windows 11 File Explorer. I like that.

Redesign their main website also!

Ad more head space for tabs and cluttering the files panel shrink space for code and file structure respectively, though the design looks pleasing to the eye, but it's not really practical, specially for smaller screens. These are my perspectives as a developer.

I’d pay for this theme.

This redesign (at least the VSCode app part) seems to ignore the main paradigm that VSCode uses: CMD+P opens the omnibar, which you can search files directly, or run commands by prefixing the query with a >. The search in the left sidebar is completely useless as you either focus it and start typing to search, or you can press CMD+Shift+F, or open the search section of the sidebar. Branch switching should stay in the dedicated version control tab of the sidebar, mixing it in the file explorer creates opportunity for mishaps. The workspaces tab bar is a tremendously bad idea, you often have 10+ files open per-project, you'll get sick of switching tabs between files and projects. Not to mention that VSCode allows to open "workspaces", multiple folders inside the same window, which does the 'projects' thing way better. I also find it easier to have separate windows per-project, especially with multiple screens setup (also allows easy ALT+TAB to switch project). These and more are the reasons developers prefer VSCode, while they steer away from the old NetBeans, Scintilla, Atom, and various other alternatives.

I'm a developer, not a designer, but I really don't like many of the changes you're proposing. Having the branch and other git actions in the files tab doesn't make sense to me. Editing/writing/fixing code are very different work flows compared to doing branch work like merging, rebasing etc. Having all that in a different tab with just a small branch indicator at the bottom of the editor makes much more sense to me. How would the search element in the files tab behave when clicking into it and starting to search? Would the files tab suddenly become the search tab? Would the file list just be filtered (instead of searched)? Theres much more to it than just placing a simple search box and button there. Having expanded folders be slightly brighter feels like horrible design to me. Why should it be highlighted just because it's expanded? Highlighting places emphasis and doesn't communicate state to me. Besides, the opposite, being greyed out, already has a meaning (ignored by git), so it's double confusing handling 3 highlighting states that mean very different things. Sorry, but your suggestions seem nice looking at a glance but are not well thought through, imho.

"You for sure have it installed on your computer already" Uh honestly no, moved to neovim myself lol

I came to the video when I saw that they updated the page LOL

bro hasn't seen the emacs one lmao

that multi windows is absolutelly a must have future feature

Just as an FYI… the music is making it difficult for me to hear what you’re saying!
