Zed is now available on Windows

For those on Windows, which is the topic at hand, UltraEdit and Notepad++.

I disagree Zed is an IDE, it is quite far from InteliJ, Borland/Embarcadero, VS, XCode, Eclipse, Netbeans...

If it is about adding enough plugins until it eventually becomes one, then any programmer's editor is an IDE.

My line is - if I can compile, run and debug my program through the editor UI instead of a terminal, it's an IDE.

As I said, then any programmer editor is an IDE, including UltraEdit and Notepad++.

Notepad++ has a debugger UI? One that goes beyond running a terminal inside a pane?

It has plugins....and about 30 years of ecosystem history.

Try to use Zed to debug Go code.

I'm literally doing that right now. I can set breakpoints and graphically step through them in Go files.

Sublime Text can run code from its UI too. IDE is much more full-featured, like VS vs VSCode or IntelliJ vs Fleet.
