Not a fan of using peek UI since showing errors in the peek is the ugliest part of vscode that we have now imho. Another reason that peek UI is not the best for this is because peek has a lot of horizontal space and not a lot of vertical, which is not correct for exceptions which usually want to show a stack trace, e.g

Error
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/isidor/Development/w/standup/fib.js:20:8)
    at Module._compile (module.js:556:32)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:565:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:473:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:432:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:424:3)
    at Timeout.Module.runMain [as _onTimeout] (module.js:590:10)
    at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:232:11)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:202:5)"

As for the motivation of this I only see the request from the C# exception. Do all the other languages also expect an experience which is similar to Visual Studio?
Yes I see that the exception is not that discoverable when it is not in the users face but it is a tradeoff in the end.

In any case I do not see a rush for doing this in January -> I propose we push it to February and then design this nicely if we decide we want to change something here.
