Seeing as I don't leave the editor to test, compile, run, and, of course, write code, it's an IDE for me. You get syntax highlighting, linting, code completion, definition lookup, and cargo integration, but that still doesn't make it a code editor in your book? It doesn't have all the features of IDEA but I don't draw the line there.

> but that still doesn't make it a code editor in your book? The GP isn't saying this isn't a code editor. The GP is making a distinction between a code editor and an integrated development environment. The GP's definition of IDE is integrating editing, building, testing, debugging, etc.

  From the GP: > Atom itself is a text editor, not a code editor, which is why I'm asking if this set of functionality crosses that distinction line. If Atom is capable of being a true IDE (code editor) then that would be big news. And like I said, I consider Atom a rust IDE for the mentioned reasons
