    Both are full IDE’s though, to be fair. QtCreator even has a RAD for Qt which is really convenient.

    Why do you say Qt for Linux isn’t good? All the Qt programs (and KDE) I’ve used on Linux worked great.

      I have no stake in this as I don’t use any of these applications, but what feature do they have that makes them IDEs while VSCode is not considered an IDE?

        I use neither as well, although I did use QtCreator for a few weeks once, and its RAD (and vim mode) was nice for Qt dev.

        The main features are the same across all IDE’s - debugger, code completion, refactoring, linting, Git integration, and build systems support. I’m sure there’s more, but like I said I don’t use them so I can’t name more.

        Obviously VSCode can use plugins to do all this, same as many other editors. The line between IDE & text editor get blurry with plugins.
