Anyone else tired of this underlying form for IDEs? I get why the side toolbars make sense, from a space efficiency perspective, but the amount of information to take in is always overwhelming from a zoomed-out perspective, considering the whole app window. Why do app designers continue to force us to select what to focus on amongst a sea of visual stimulation? Make it hidden by default, and appear only when we want it!

IDE devs can copy a thing or two from all the distraction free writing tools (which have gone too far), balance is key.

Good IDEs allow you to change the layout or hide unnecessary parts.
