VSCode isn’t an IDE, although you can kinda make it work like an IDE with extensions.
I use Visual Studio Professional as my IDE at work, but we do a lot of C#.
With these modern extensible text editors the line between IDE and editor is too blurry to really tell. Many things people would agree are IDEs (like Eclipse) are entirely based around a plugin architecture too. I don't think it's worth it to split hairs over whether Visual Studio Code and similar programs are or aren't IDEs. With enough plugins, they're IDEs. With too few, they aren't. Where that line is is entirely subjective.
Like (Neo)vim, it's a PDE: Personalized Development Environment
Props to TJ DeVries for coming up with that term.
