- Siyuan - never heard of it before, but it's on the comparison chart above.
- Skeuomorphism when something is made to resemble the thing that people are already familiar with, e.g. the "desktop" on your computer

- Over the past couple days I have been keeping both VSCode and PyCharm open, simply because PyCharm enables me to work faster when it comes to running tests, going to a class (VSCode/How To/Go To Python Class by Name), copying python dotted paths (see also VSCode/How To/Copy the Python Dotted Class Path), and just seeing what files are in the VSCode/View/Files Explorer. I'm not satisfied with the UI and UX of VSCode. Ended up putting a bit of time into customizing it to try to improve its visibility.
Other Settings
- VSCode/Setting/Editor/Font/Size increased it to 14
- VSCode/Setting/Editor/Font/Family
- changed to
'Robotization Mono', 'Noto Sans Mono', 'IBM Plex Mono', 'Kawkab Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', Cousine, 'ST1X Two Math For Robot0 Mono', 'Symbola For Robot0 Mono', 'Source Han Sans', Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace
- VSCode/Setting/Accessibility/Dim Unfocused/Enabled and VSCode/Setting/Accessibility/Dim Unfocused/Opacity - I turned on and set unfocused opacity to 0.75 to try it out. it does make it slightly easier to see where the focus is, at the expense of making it easier to read the places where the focus is not. I turned it off because I don't want to change my focus in order to read things.

#TIL VSCode/Quirk/Customized Keyboard Shortcuts Remain After Uninstalling Extensions
- I created custom shortcuts to show and hide
.gitignore'd files here Hide Git Ignored - Visual Studio Marketplace - then I uninstalled it. The keyboard shortcuts remained. This was astonishing to me, but I suppose it might make sense; if I re-installed it, the keyboard shortcuts would remain.
