I use VSCode with no plugins. It's an amazing code editor, and by default it does code highlighting for C++ and TypeScript. I build in a terminal, outside of the editor, the way it's supposed to be done.

Well an IDE is more than just a text editor+syntax highlighting+a terminal.

It's also about type hinting, refactoring, debugging, etc.

And for the two languages you speak of it just so happens that the support is shipped with VS Code since Microsoft is heavily invested in the development of these languages.

For other's (even Python) support varies widely.
