I think it's possible to customize it to be an IDE in some cases, but at least for some languages, it's not one out of the box. I have no idea how most people use it, but it doesn't seem obvious to me that all or most users would necessarily use it as and consider it an IDE.

Well, out of the box, it really only supports JavaScript and TypeScript - and those two are at the level I'd consider to be an IDE (i.e. with debugging etc). Any other language requires an extension. But most major language extensions also provide a full suite of IDE services. Although sometimes that is spread across several different extensions - as with e.g. Java - but in that case, there's usually also an extension pack that gives you the unified experience.

> it's not one out of the box Then by that definition there are no IDE's.
