True, but would you please care to explain the difference, since it seems to differ based on person as well as when a certain definition made its way "into the wild"?
Back in the day (early 90s) an IDE was something that came with the language. Eg, you install the compiler/interpreter and that came alongside an editor that allowed you syntax highlight, debugger and to execute the program.
See Turbo Pascal, Delphi as well as nowadays Android Studio or Visual Studio.
To that definition, I'm not sure which "IDE"s fit the bill. VSCode might, depending on language but in a reverse way (eg: the Go plugin can install the language as well as required tooling and leads VSCode to provide all the above functionality)
