#141425 - Missing the point
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I said:
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...

The IDE by itself does not do diddlysquat, it only integrates existing tools.

You missed the point: an IDE is, literally, a complete Environment - not just a GUI or a framework - that includes all the tools and supporting "infrastructure".
