The line between IDEs and editors get blurry every day :).
You’re right java IDEs sometimes don’t include java sdk in the base package.
I’ve recently been fiddling with ios development, when thinking of an IDE, I think of xcode, visual studio etc. Lots of defaults and magic.
Slime might very well be considered an IDE, an IDE for power users :) who likely have learned at least some emacs lisp to get it working.
- aidenn0 6y agoFWIW, when I first started using SLIME, I used it just as a debugger and REPL. I wrote all of my lisp code in vim and used slime for debugging it. I knew zero elisp and zero emacs shortcuts; I used the menu interface for all but a few commands. The first (and only for about 3 years) elisp I wrote was a command to open up the current file in vim, and reload it when vim exited. This let me browse & debug source with emacs while editing with vim. SLIME offered so many features that this was an actually useful workflow, and I didn't switch to using emacs for editing as well until much later, when evil-mode came out. side-note: I had tried other vi-like modes prior to evil-mode coming out (e.g. viper), but they fell in an uncanny valley for me; just familiar enough that I would regularly muscle-memory some sequence that didn't work in viper.
