Replace bread crumbs in extensions with the tab to be consistent

[abchatra]

UI design: Instead of breadcrumbs it is better to show the extensions as new tab update

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Extensions'
2. Click on 'Robotics' or Search for an extension

What problem would this address? If we start to incorporate filtering (possibly in Arcade), it may start to get a bit busy. That being said, if you have a problem in mind that I am not aware of, let me know.

Issue we discussed in the testing is the transition from tabbed UI to breadcrumb and going back is jarring. To go back to original view, one has to click on the breadcrumb. You can try in /beta

How does breadcrumb help with filtering?

[unthinkmedia]

This feels redundant to me and a bit confusing since that one tab functions quite differently than the others. It is actually almost functioning as a header. The other thing that I notice is that once you select a pill, then given it is above the tabs I would expect the tab to only include things inside of the selected section so for example. Show me only recommendations for LEDs.

Is "Installed" and "In Development" also filters? In general, I think we should try to be consistent about how filters show up across our product. What's the design pattern in other Microsoft products?

[unthinkmedia]

I wouldn't consider "In Development" a filter. That is more like My Assets and Gallery pattern. Something that I created and not publisher provided. I see installed being a state. The original design had installed as the first lane in the recommended view. I would be fine removing that and reverting back to that approach. That would remove all the tabs, because we could find another place for in development since that is an advanced setting. It doesn't need to be so pronounced. I will whip something up tonight for feedback

If you hide it when empty, you basically solve the problem for all/most beginner/intermediate users. Advanced users who build libraries won't mind.

What does it mean by the way, which scripts are supposed to end up there?

We:be removed the need for tabs since it is only required when a person has local github repo.

We no longer show the "In Development" (now "Local") tab if there are no such projects:
