#141417 - Not necessarily
Responding to: ???'s previous message

An IDE does more than edit, compile, link and debug.

Erik Malund said:
it does neither of the above

IDE = Integrated Development Environment. So, taking the words literally, an IDE most certainly should include integrated tools to edit, compile, link and debug.

However, "IDE" has come to be (ab)used to mean just the GUI front-end that binds the separate tools together - under this interpretation, Erik is quite correct!
