Claiming that VSCode is not an IDE is just pedantic.

It is literally just a modular IDE that lets you pick and choose which piece you want rather then being like Visual Studio or XCode that is tailored for a single language / development flow.

Hell you still have to download core parts of XCode / VS after you download and install them like the development frameworks for your targets, does that mean that they're not actually IDEs?

I will concede on the "not really an IDE" part. You're right you can set it up to be like one.

I say it's not mostly because it isn't marketed as one. It's marketed as just a source code (text) editor.
