I am currently on the stable version 1.53.2 of VSCode with Julia 1.5.3 and I have the exact same issues with it as described by @Shuhua (edit: platform is Windows 10): Code runs, but no syntax highlighting and also only old UI.  
Installed versions:

- VSCode (stable) 1.53.2
- Julia (on the system): 1.5.3
- Julia VS extension: 1.1.32
- Jupyter VS extension: v2021.2.603412351

Again, with the current VS Code Insider version this works. Kinda. The syntax highlighting in many cases seems broken, especially string interpolations.

- VSCode (insider) 1.55.0
- Julia (on the system): 1.5.3
- Julia VS extension: 1.1.37
- Jupyter VS extension: v2021.4.641214696

Note the `2pi` marked red as well as the syntax highlighting for the string interpolation being broken.  
All those things work in regular .jl files in VS Code however:

Out of interest I tried the string interpolation in nteract as well and here it was completely broken too (but in a different way):

Am I missing something? Is there currently any notebook frontend for Julia, that provides correct syntax highlighting?
