Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open multiple tabs
  2. See how the closing "x" in on the right-side? Move it to the left-side.

One of the things Safari gets right is its placement of the tab close "x". By placing it on the left, you can quickly close tabs without moving the pointer about (since the left-side remains constant, while the right-side moves about based on tab name). It would be nice if VSCode did likewise. :)
