    Saying notepad is an IDE is like saying a wheel is a car. While yes, a car uses a bunch of wheels and you can get movement by using a wheel, a wheel is not a car.

    Yes, IDE’s involve text editing. And yes, you can code in any text editor that outputs a correct file format. But that doesn’t make every text editor an IDE.

    It’s not tomato:tomAhto. It’s more like tomato:pizza.
