Affum kwabena Karkari yes. A text editor itself provides no functionality but an ide can add a lot to it by managing all that stuff which can take hrs .

Ide includes a text editor that actually allows you to write and edit the various extension files but configures the text editor to use different functionality(like linting,formating and etc .) that those plugins offers which you install from some place.

So you mean I should forget about using text editor and go for an IDE
