Imho, that’s Web Text Editor. It’d be helpful to not mix junior an “editor” with an “IDE”.
If someone at Gitlab is listening then it’d actually be a differentiator to make an IDE (and charge for it) to also those platforms where having a beefy laptop becomes a requirement (eg Android) and developers on those platforms, or a lot of them like me, would love to have a platform online that’s largely independent of a development machine.

We're looking to a future where the Web IDE earns the "IDE" distinction, and you're absolutely right - for smaller edits, we'll continue to have a lightweight Web Editor.
