The UI has always held me back from using VS Code, though the performance and new features look great. Glad that tab support is coming, and it's cool that they have a detailed iteration plan for June publicly available: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/7253

I'm stoked they're going to add tabs. When they first launched code, they said they didn't want tabs. I guess they thought the document explorer thing was the best option. But it totally turned me off from using Code.

Personally, I like the document explorer more than tabs. It's very clear which files have been edited. I use IntelliJ IDEA and periodically I have to stop and clear out unused tabs as it gets too crowded.

What, in particular, about the UI don't you like? Is it just the lack of tabs?
