This is a plan for terminal tabs issue: #10546, I read through all the comments on that issue while coming up with the below.
If you have feedback on this feature, please put it in #10546
Philosophy
The terminal view is convenient, it's nice to have all terminals in a single space where you can reliably go to in order to see all your terminals. Having said that, some people don't like the terminal panel and would prefer to work with editors. There are a few reasons for this:
They want to use a true grid view with more than 1 dimension - this isn't implemented in the terminal view to keep things simple and lightweight.
They want terminals that are persistent and will always be visible regardless of panel state.
They want to save the panel's real estate for something else like the debug console or problems.
They want to make better use of monitors.
They want to temporarily use a terminal on the side to give it more real estate and use as a reference - this is something I use a text editors in a second editor group for.
They want to have a single full screen editor group, being able to switch to the terminal without messing with its dimensions
The plan is to make terminal editors optional/opt-in. If the user doesn't want to use them, then they probably wouldn't even notice they exist. Terminal editors will complement the existing terminal tabs, both can be used if the user wants.
