I may be missing something, but can anyone explain how the Material Theme is "Material" anyway? Like, aside from the name, what makes it "Material" or in what way is it "based on Material"?

Mind you, the question is someone who actually read through the material design guidelines :) and applied them in interface development.

Well, it is what it is. “Material” has really become somewhat of a design buzzword because of its popularity. The theme has “Material” in its name, and it adopts at least some of MD guidelines, and I think that’s enough for most people to call it “Material”. Mind you that VS Code themes cannot fully comply wit MD specs, even if they really want to.
