Is vscode considered an IDE?

Does vscode count as an IDE?

VSCode doesn’t count, VS is the IDE. The IDE must at least integrate one-click compilation and running, and come with initializers for various frameworks, right? The main reason is that VSCode does not meet the I (integrated) of the word IDE. VSCode requires us to manually integrate various extensions. The IDE is officially built-in.

Strictly speaking, not all, but now vscode is sometimes even easier to use than ide...because after installing the plug-in vscode is a powerful IDE. For example, if you write java, vscode can guide you to install jdk and integrate it into vscode; if you write c, vscode also has a code runner plug-in that allows you to compile and run c code directly in vscode. All in all, if you want an IDE, you can build vscode into an IDE yourself.

If you just want an editor, vscode can give you a good experience directly. But why don’t I just use the IDE and have to assemble it myself? Because vscode starts much faster than IDE, generally speaking it takes at least 10 seconds for IDE to start.

In addition, vscode supports so many languages, such as python, c/c, js, ts, java, c#..., they are all very comfortable to write. If you want to use markdown to write notes, then vscode can also give you a good experience. All in all, vscode provides you with more possibilities than IDE. What's more, the plug-in ecosystem is still developing, and vscode will get better and better in the future.

Note:
