I have updated the
OpenEditorsView, it was pretty straightforward.The only remaining "reference" to viewlets in these views is a mention of
IViewletViewOptions. We should probably try to get rid of them.sbatten commentedon Feb 13, 2020
Timeline is done

Will it let me drag the tree view to the left side while activity bar and all the other panels/views on the left? Just like in Atom where you can move views to any side container.
I wanted this from the very first day I moved to VSCode. I used to have version control in the right container and tree view in the left one.
Looking for something similar in VSCode right now then found this issue.
Not sure it's the right one.

Clsoing this issue since I believe SteVen Batten (@sbatten) has done what was on the plan for this milestone
SteVen Batten (@sbatten) feel free to reopen or to create follow up issues.
Terry Sahaidak (@terrysahaidak) this is not possible currently in vscode, though we do want to have that in the future
