This post is now dedicated for a comment debate with the topic "Is Visual Studio Code an IDE?"

I 'll see myself out. Make the comments rain

With my definition of IDE, no, because to me, an IDE is mainly composed of running / compiling tool.

It's not but you can make it close to one with extensions

It's the same with sublime and atom

In my opinion is something between a simple editor (like Notepad++) and an IDE. More than an editor, less than a complete IDE.

@JS96 modern editor?

Btw n++ has plugins too as far as I remember

@juzles yep, but it's less a "plug and play", you need to spend more time to configure it

By definition, no.

If you prepackaged it with plugins, then perhaps.

The official website says its a code editor, discussion closed

I just call everything an IDE in the same way that you call trucks cars. You know what I mean, semantics don't concern me terribly.

"Plug this script in your IDE and see if that fixes the bug."

"You mean my code editor? </sass>"

"Idgaf man just do it"
