I think perhaps you don’t know what an IDE is.

Notepad isn’t “technically” not an IDE. It does not have any of the features that make an IDE an IDE. People using something for programming does not make that thing an IDE.

An IDE is an integrated environment for development. Notepad is not integrated with any environment. That’s what makes it good.

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.
