WinUI – The modern native UI platform of Windows

A modern code editor (or better yet, an IDE) is going to also have a file browser next to the editor proper, and usually some other panes like embedded terminal etc. You can also use whitespace to provide a minimap of the code on the margin - the larger it is, the more useful it is for quick navigation.

I run VSCode maximized on a 27" monitor, and the editor field is just about wide enough for 150 columns, with all this other stuff.

I coveted the minimap until I got a vertical side monitor. It's not a direct replacement for it, but it gives me enough vertical context to do the work I do without feeling blinkered.

(Sadly my code editor of choice doesn't offer that feature.)
