Visual Studio Code introduces floating editor windows

<p>I don’t know if I am the only one not in favor of floating windows when coding. Nothing against floating windows being available as an option but I do not like it being seen as a default behavior. Personally I have made my whole mac coding setup to use Yabai as my tiling window manager to avoid this problem.</p>


<p>Thank goodness, I’ve really been missing this since I started using Visual Studio in addition to VS Code several months ago! The floating editor windows still don’t function quite like the docked ones, but it’s still a great start!</p>
