    I agree. I was mainly thinking of neovim, but i guess vim works in this example, too.

    I was talking about the base editor itself, though. In the end it doesn’t even matter what we consider VSCode to be, i feel this thread has just devolved into arguing about semantics and bikeshedding, and there’s no correct solution.

    I think i’ll just be deleting my main comment, admit I had a bad take and move on. i’m tired of arguing about this.


  • Not really. there’s VSCode itself, and then there’s the extensions on top of it. But my main point was how vscode wasn’t designed to be an IDE, just a customizable code editor. Like neovim or emacs, you could customize it to the point of being similar to an IDE, but they’re still not considered IDEs.

    IDEs come bundled with tooling, such as debuggers, intelligent code completion, and OOTB language support, and language servers.

    vscode out of the box doesn’t have any of these, you install them with plugins. jetbrains products, for example would be IDEs, but editors like vscode and neovim aren’t. Those are code editors.

    vscode isn’t an IDE, but an actual IDE written in electron would be horrible.

    I don’t want to argue about this anymore. I admit i had a bad take, and this whole thread is just arguing about semantics at this point. Does it even really matter if vscode is an IDE or not? If it works, it works.
