I would call vscode(ium) an IDE

[-] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

When I think IDE I think Visual Studio or IntelliJ or XCode, these extremely heavy single use (originally at least, C# Java and ObjC respectively) behemoths. I think of vscode and atom before it as like a notepad++ ++

I use vscode (or codium when not at work) these days because it's a one stop shop for every language and every feature I could ever need is possible with a plugin. I have used visual studio, intelliJ and others in the past, and i fail to see the distinction from a usage perspective

Not saying you’re wrong, I’m just explaining what I think of when I think ide. I think of visual studio and its integration into windows dev, Xcode and its integration for macOS and apple dev, etc. I think of vscode as a super sublime text in its goals, or akin to vim/helix
