    Discontinued UI Customization plugin for vscode

    Recently, VSCode pushed an update that also caused some problems in the JavaScript code which took effect within a approximately 20-day timeframe. The change was only for improving the boot time by a mere 5%. Unfortunately, this impacted some widely used plugins like Customize UI (130K+ active installs) which you can read about here: https://github.com/iocave/customize-ui/issues/156.
