True.
If you look at notepad, emacs, atom, vscode, sublime, vs, webstorm and such, they're all somewhere distributed on a continuum between IDE and editor.
VSCode has a superb Git integration, but what has this to do with an editor?

Yes, that's true. But if you start with a clean slate - like with VSCode - there is less bloat.
There’s nothing magic about an IDE, it’s just a very, very, bloated editor.
