I like seeing devs embrace native frameworks. Electron apps just do UI so differently that its just a pain to use. For example dragging a file tab out of vs code doesnt create a new window like every other editor.

Just because it's not implemented yet doesn't mean it can't be implemented. Electron can do anything a native app can because it is a native app itself.

Anyway, you can do it without dragging which is actually even better. Just do Ctrl+K, O or on a Mac Cmd+K, O.

You can track when this feature is implemented here - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/8171

"you can do this thing in a completely different way than the native OS trains you to expect to do it, actually this is even better!"

Pfffft. Yeah, imagine using the mouse more than the keyboard for a coding tool though?

it's an art program ffs

No, VS Code is a coding tool.
