It's not really an IDE and it's not lightweight either.

It's not snappy. Sometimes just moving up a couple lines fast causes my caret to lag, which is not pleasant.

That might have more to do with when you have lots of plugins for LSPs, etc, but who uses vscode without any plugins?

    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.
