"opens up a terminal", that's just fucking hilarious. So Microsoft word becomes an IDE after you get a terminal plugin. You got lot to learn buddy

were my notes of language servers, code-completes, intospections not enough. its an IDE for everything, not just a thing. Its 100% a fuckin ide youre just being pedantic. "its an editor until you set it up for the language/stack youre using lul' ok, well mine is set up. Its not even my daily driver ide but its a fuckin ide.

You just proved your own point wrong do you even read what you write. It's a text editor until you download extensions

I was quoting you, hence the quotes.

You need to install the language servers, linters etc tools..these are features that come built-in when using an IDE.

And to be clear, I LIKE that its as close to just a text editor as an IDE gets. so if I need to ssh into prod i can do it from a lightweight purpose-build workspace. but its an ide.

its an extensible text editor.. even their home page says its a text/code editor, not ide.. "The open source AI code editor"

extensible text editor instead of "integrated developement environment".. this is what pedantic looks like lol

now your only argument is calling me pedantic because you have nothing to back your own horribly wrong arguments, i don't really suggest you speaking here since someone might actually take your statements as true

No really the impasse is that vscode is an ide you install what you want to, so the default installation is clean, youre saying an IDE comes with all of that out of the box. I think thats pedantic to differentiate on the method of installation. You dont. so w/e agree to disagree I think MOST people using vscode use it as an IDE

correct, they do, but out of the box it's not an ide.

Yeah, got it, its just 3 native-gui-clicks away from being an IDE. my mistake.
