How do I open multiple projects/folders in a single Visual Studio Code instance, and open multiple files in single view? Does it has any option for future change request?

To open a second instance of the integrated development environment (IDE), right-click on the Visual Studio icon in your dock or Applications folder, and select New Instance.
To unfold all the folders in your code: Enter command >unfold all and hit enter.
Launch VS Code and press the “Ctrl” and “P” keys simultaneously to search for a file to open in the current project. Type in the file name. To open the new file in a temporary tab, click on it once. To open the new file in a separate window that you can choose to close manually, double-click it.
Not sure why the simplest solution is not mentioned. You can simply do File>New Window and open the other project in the new window.

This is now available out of the box as of October 2017. From the blog post:
This was our #1 feature request - it's been a while coming but it's here now.
The complete documentation is here.
You can work with multiple project folders in Visual Studio Code with multi-root workspaces. This can be very helpful when you are working on several related projects at one time. For example, you might have a repository with a product's documentation which you like to keep current when you update the product source code.
Currently the Insider channel of VSCode gives us this out of the box.
