Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Update to 1.6
  2. Reopen

Text has never been as crisp as Sublime, but now it's super blurry, from the menus on top to text in the workspace. At some point, you really ought to show some MS-pride and use DirectWrite since it's your tech and it's how Sublime achieves the crispest text of all editors. Something specific broke in 1.6, but I'm just mentioning DirectWrite as a long-term play.
