    VSCode is more functional and uses less resources than a comparable open source C++ editor, for example QT Creator […]

    QT Creator is a full blown IDE. It would be more fair to compare it to Visual Studio, not Code.

      At some point, where’s the line? What’s the feature that QT Creator has that VSCode doesn’t have? VSCode can compile, it can perform code analysis, it can debug, it can do code cleanup, you can search code by symbols.

      I don’t use VSCode and I have no stake in this, but I’m not sure why it’s not considered a full blown IDE.
