They're just saying that so that they have a justification for making two IDEs.
What is your definition of an IDE?
I don't think there's an exact definition but broadly I would say if it has the majority of these features it's definitely an IDE:
If you make something with all those then it's definitely an IDE. Without some of them it's more debatable. For example the old Arduino editor... I would still say is a very basic IDE even though it doesn't have a proper debugger - it has other heavily integrated development tools, e.g. the UART viewer.
