If you want to argue that IDEs come with more features than text editors "out of the box", I'll happily 100% agree. But I've spent many hours configuring Sublime, Jetbrains IDEs (CLion, WebStorm, PHPStorm, and PyCharm) in particular, and also maybe a grand total of an hour configuring Visual Studio. Yes, I install more plugins in Sublime to get the same functionality as an IDE. No, that's not what my original comment was about.
If you honestly think there's something an IDE can do that can't be done in a text editor with plugins, then just consider this: an IDE at its core is a text editor, and all the rest is just "plugins"
