Visual studio does not look like this, because it uses text instead of icons. Which both uses less space, and is much easier to parse.

The gnome style client side decorations versus traditional menu bars is just bad. It works okay if your application has like… two buttons. Which, to be fair, is many gnome apps because they’re so feature-anemic. But once you have many functions, it becomes a mess that wastes huge amount of screen space.
