Here is a common list of features that comprise modern IDEs:

  - edit multiple files
  - search across files
  - console/terminal
  - debugging
  - customizable keyboard shortcuts
  - source control integration
  - extensions/plugins
Optional:

  - long startup times
  - complicated and overly nested settings
  - run-amok CPU-hogging plugins

This misses "having an understanding about the source code and associated actions". Like refactoring helpers, autocompletion, etc. This is what distinguishes an IDE from a text editor for me.

But anyway, the Rust playground has none of those anyway.
