I was exploring ways to improve the PR experience in VS Code and one of the ideas involved updating the glyph area for comments. Currently we show a gray bar and a unicode + and ♦ that don't look very pretty.

Current

Proposal

A couple of things I explored:

• Moving glyph area to the left of line numbers. This helps create separation between between the scm indicators and a clear area for adding comments.
• Adding button for adding and view comments. This follows a similar pattern on GitHub for reviewing changes.
• Hiding diff chunk areas. This reduces the visual noise and I think most people will be commenting on changed lines in the PR as opposed to lines that are not related
• Adding color to the + and - changes to look visually pleasing

Unsure who should I assign to so assigning to @rebornix and @alexdima for now
