What’s different between Vscode and other editors like Vim is how easy it is to make it a fully fledged IDE. Usually a notification pops up about analyzers being available, and if you click accept it’s done. Just one click of a button.

With Vim it’s not that easy. You need to install many separate plugins just to make it a fraction of an IDE.

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.
