It is not based on vscode as far as I know, but it does use the vscode language servers and snippets. Regarding splits, if you set "tabs.mode" to "tabs" it will behave just like regular vim tabs, so each "tab" is just a neovim instance that behaves exactly as you would expect it to. There is a feature in development that creates a GUI "tab" for each split[1], but I found it difficult to use so I'm sticking with native vim splits for now.

Zen mode in VSCode is very configurable. You can disable the full screen mode, and also disable the dumb centering thing it does in the most recent release(s)

Interesting that you consider it dumb. For me centering the editor content is crucial and I was extremely happy when they let us center the editor content outside of Zen mode. I was also a big fan of Goyo and Limelight in Vim.
For some of the stuff I do right now it's not as convenient or stylish as tmux + vim (don't laugh about the stylish part - for example I like a minimalist look and I tend to remove all toolbar and VS Code can't do that; well, it can, in Zen mode, but that's also full screen only, sets some other options I don't want, etc.).
For the convenience part, I'd want proper window splits, both horizontal and vertical at the same time and I'd want the panels and windows to become sort of interchangeable. I.e. you'd have 1 universal kind of pane which could host a terminal or a editing window or a problem panel or whatever.
If this is stable enough it might be just what I was looking for :)
Is this based on the VS Code code base? They'd be getting a ton of high quality UI code for free, IMO.
