IDE or Code Editor? Visual Studio or VS code?
If you weren’t knowing it before then let me tell you that
VS code or Visual Studio Code is an editor while Visual Studio is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
I’m addressing this fact because VS code feels more like an IDE than just an editor. Visual Studio is an IDE because it comes with built in support for editor, compilers, interpreters, intellisense, and many other features but VS code doesn’t comes packed with all of these.

IDE is an integrated environment to develop some kind of software. Text editor is something that edit text. But what happened in recent years was that text editor went far beyond editing text due to mainly plugins.
I would say because of that the boundary between text editors and IDEs are increasingly blurred. What lies between them is less and less technical and more and more personal or conventional. So why differentiating at all? Consider it an IDE if you believe it can be so INTEGRATED with all its plugins and configurations. Consider it a text editor if you believe it is less PRECONFIGURED
Visual Studio Code is an amazing and advanced code editor with some features of an IDE such as debugging, and can apply other features via plugins….
however it is not a complete environment with everything that a full scale IDE such as Visual Studio provides out of the box.
