I was thrilled when Google launched something similar to VS Code, especially since most buttons are in the same places and many keyboard shortcuts work the same way. I’m also happy to see Google updating and investing in its products.
I know there are places where these updates are posted, but I believe this particular type of update deserves more visibility and clearer communication for developers, because it’s a major change that directly impacts our workflow.
Google, it would be great if you could display a warning or announcement window before rolling out a huge update like this, and even include a checkbox confirming that we’ve read and understood the changes, so developers can prepare for it. It’s frustrating to open our workspace and suddenly think, “Wow… where is everything?”
