Specifically label which basemaps are tiled basemaps and which ones are vector tiled basemaps upfront so they can be more easily distinguished. Currently, basemaps that are available in both tiled and vector tiled formats (e.g., Dark Gray Canvas, Light Gray Canvas) have the exact same label. The user must pick a basemap and test it to see which format it is. More specific labeling upfront will help save time and eliminate that step.Basemap selector menu

Educate me - what's the difference between Tiled and Vector Tiled?  Why does it matter?  Thanks.
