This is a great list, but like others I would argue that the term IDE can be misleading in this case.
A great IDE is usually targeted towards a few languages of choice (Java for Eclipse, C# for Visual Studio, PHP for PHP Storm...) and you are usually ready to go as soon as the installation is complete, with an editor, a debugger etc... This is where the term *I*ntegrated comes from.
A great editor like Visual Studio Code or Atom does not do anything by itself but instead relies on plugins that you usually have to install and configure yourself.
To each his own and I am not saying one kind is necessarily better than the other, but it seems to me that they don't play in the same category.
Hey Mac!!
Thanks for your comment!
Well, yes definitely some IDE started very slow by just being the text editors such as Atom as you pointed out. But Atom has seen days like no text editor (or maybe Sublime ;). Atom is actually moving towards integrated development. In 2017, GitHub and Facebook decided to make Atom as a software for complete development. Facebook has developed a package of features called Atom-IDE to give it capabilities of a IDE. So, Atom has become much more than editor.
I also believe that open source software rely on a large community. This community gives certain functionalities to the software which makes them feature-rich. Although these capabilities comes as plugin just similar to Jenkins but they certainly do. So, I personally believe achieving those capabilities are a good start for something that started just as a small editor :)
It is completely personal choice though :) Have a good day!!
