Lots of unnecessary whitespace, tabs changing colour to be confusing about which is selected…

They hired a new design lead who wants to make their mark, didn't they.

I would call it more of a stain on your career when you use border radius like this.

It definitely feels that way

I stopped using vscode because of their ui a long time ago and went to zed. Never going back.

Honestly it is probably time I start using Vim.

This feels like the effective death of VSCode.

I came for screenshots and there are none, nor are there in the linked issue this is marked a duplicate of.

At the end of that video you can see the modern UI preview.

Screen shots? Just open the app, it is glaring with border radius.

A gluttonous heaping dollop of border radius has been added to my favorite code editor. It is effecting my coding productivity, as the change is quite harmful to the eyes. The designers have been plaguing the web with this exponentially. It was only a matter of time before it spread to desktop electron apps. That time has come now, I have reported this visual bug to VScode.

You probably mean "affecting". As a verb, "effect" means "to put into effect" or sometimes "to make more effective". Somehow I don't get the sense you meant either of those.
