Word and Google Docs are not text editors [0], they are word processors [1].

Yep. I didn't call Word/Docs/Code text editors, and all for the same reason. That's the joke. Guess I was too cute by half.

You're missing that IDEs have additional functionality not built into text editors or source code editors.

Indeed I am. What universal IDE functionality is missing from VSCode? My vanilla install is aces for full-stack TypeScript work, but I'd love to know what I'm missing!
