You have also described me; I do not feel the need to call Vim an "IDE". I even appreciate that it can be turned into an IDE (though I do not do this: I currently prefer to use separate tools), but it doesn't become an IDE until after you've added enough plugins to have covered the functionality of at least "compiler" and "debugger". In essence, I'm confused by your response, as it seems to indicate that "because some people don't want an IDE, they choose to call things that are not IDEs using the name IDE".
