> Visual Studio...

Isn't it basically an Atom alternative? What makes it, and not Atom, an IDE rather than 'augmented text editor', to borrow GP's phrasing?

I think you are mixing up Visual Studio Code, the free and open source text editor with Visual studio, the closed source and paid IDE.

Not sure if they mean Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. VSCode is an Electron-based editor similar to Atom; full-fat Visual Studio does support many languages by itself, but it's Windows only.

That's not 100% true, there is Visual Studio Mac which is based off Xamarin Studio but has a lot of the internals from Visual Studio in it like InteliSense and Roslyn
