50-60 lines? You must have tiny text size, on mine, with VS Code, I can see 40 lines. As you get past 30 and your eyesight starts changing, you need to up it. By 45 you need it quite a bit bigger than you used to have it. In the mid-2000s there used to be a lot of articles reminding the mainly young developers that 11-12px font size was unreadable to anyone past 40. On top of that, the default place for a console in VS Code is at the bottom, now I'm down to 25-30 lines if I have that open. And then there's heavier IDEs like IntelliJ, Visual studio, etc. They might have two or three tab lines at the top, a row used for class navigation (that I've just realized I've never, ever used), an extra row or two of quick action bars, a row of extra tabs at the bottom for navigating between consoles/call stacks/locals/error lists, 2 info bar rows at the bottom, and sometimes two or even three scroll bars stacked on top of each other. All of a sudden you're down from 30 lines visible to 17, which is my actual visible lines of code when I have debugging running.
