It's literally listed in stack overflow's section on IDEs, functions as a replacement for an IDE, was architected so that plugins can turn it into an IDE, and is distributed with plugins made by the same company that turn it into an IDE. Insisting that it's not an IDE in this context isnt helping anyone communicate, it's just being pedantic.
They also list vim and notepad++ as IDEs, pretty sure they just meant code editors in general.
Fucking NANO is on the list ๐
With enough plugins vim can have almost all of the features of an ide. Not that I recommend using it like that tho.
