Sorry for assuming wrong. I see this passive aggressive disagreement over definiitions not uncommonly online, and thought you were doing this. Here's an example between two people talking about US politics (but it doesn't just happen on the subject of US politics):
Someone says something about the American political left
A: What are you talking about? I don't know of any left wing parties in the US.
B: The Democratic Party?
A: The Democrats are also right wing, just not as far right as the Republicans.
Assuming A is American, there's pretty much no way they didn't know most people in the US think the Democratic Party is on the left. It's like they specifically wanted to feign ignorance so they could respond to B the way they did. Whenever I see this behavior I get annoyed.
I thought there was no way someone on HN wouldn't know that Visual Studio Code is based on Electron and commonly considered an IDE. So I assumed you were trying to make a point. But I was wrong; I shouldn't have assumed bad faith on your part.
- stephenr 3y ago> I thought there was no way someone on HN wouldn't know that Visual Studio Code is based on Electron I did know that. The issue isn't that I didn't know what VSCode is. The issue is that I have no idea what "IDEs" OP was referring to when s/he said "IDEs have changed so much in last decade".
