    I still don't know how to switch to the JSON-only view the few times that I need it.
There's a button top right to toggle. Ctrl+, then click the button.

    And I hate that quite a few extensions have a vague "just set X in settings"
You're going to hate me but... You can "just set" workbench.settings.editor to "json" to always skip the ui!
