To me the line between editor and IDE is you don't have to leave the IDE to do anything if you don't want to. Including the thing that VS Code lacks in most cases: projects and compilation. For example, in Visual Studio you can go from "New Executable" to an actual compiled executable without leaving Visual Studio or using a terminal.

Not that I want those things in VSCode, and if I did there's likely a plugin for that. This is just where I happen to dilineate the two.
