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.
You also run into different sets of tools that define an IDE. And especially with language server protocols giving almost any text editor access to the only things that were ever strictly the domain of IDEs, I think it's safe to say we live in a golden age of being able to write things with as much or as little assistance as you want
