revert modern ui update

Type: <b>Feature Request</b> it does not look better - it creates roundness where not needed (eg tabs) and creates unhelpful space between elements. It's not a website where such cozyfied ui would fit. Instead, for me VSCode is a heavy loaded UI editor where plain line-split views make it easier to see what's where and do not crappen the picture with unusual odd no-real-benefit elements.
