I just started playing with the VS Code extension and was confused by the Getting started with Aspire walkthrough's "Create new project" step. After naming the project I didn't realize I needed to also manually create the folder I want the project to reside in. I chose a root folder and then realized it placed all the template files there. I think a smarter default would be to create a clean folder the same name as the project name under the folder the user selects. This is more consistent with the git clone experience.

Describe the solution you'd like

When clicking the "Create new project" button on the walkthrough, users will:

  • Select the template
  • Enter the project name (i.e. MyFirstApp)
  • Select the root folder in the "Enter the output path" (i.e. C:\users\username\source)
  • Answer the rest of the questions....

Result: files are created in new clean folder (i.e. C:\users\username\source\MyFirstApp)
