Syntax highlighting, linting, and language specific autocomplete are features supported by plugins and scripts. Plain, simple vim is a powerful extensible text editor. The extensibility makes it easy to turn into an IDE.

There's syntax highlighting by default in vim though.

Yeah, there is a generic syntax highlighting scheme. I had forgotten because it's not very good for some languages, I'd replaced it with a LSP-based implementation years ago.
