A feature like viewing all the git initiated project is much needed too. See VSCode extension for that.

Doesn't "File -> Open Recent... (⌥⌘O)" does this already? 🤔

Yes, but it is not what I need. It has only recently opened projects; what about un-opened project or new projects, I want those too.

@arv-anshul Sure! but I think OP is talking about recent projects.. from the screenshots at least seems he's referring more to that than a project manager because vscode and xcode AFAIK don't have a "Project manager" out of the box, is just recent projects.

My intention here was to give you feedback what I miss when I come from other tools. It is totally fine to me when you want in your app a behaviour like textedit, which opens a new empty file at startup.

I expect for a next-generation code editor at startup an "welcome page" which offers my last projects or the option to start a new one.

This "welcome page" could offer in the future more content or features you want to offer to the users.
