You can turn it into basically an IDE though. Even vim can basically be turned into an IDE. It's really just about taking a code editor and integrating language-specific features.

Yes but you need to mention this point that at the start it isn't an IDE and that plugins need to be installed

It's an IDE. There is no argument here.

All IDEs can be code editors. Not all code editors can be IDE's...

VS CODE IS AN IDE

Yes but check the website of VSCode @camcodirect
