Lesson refers to VS Code as an IDE

Although VS Code with extensions indeed blurs the line between a smart text editor and a fully fledged IDE, from what I have read across the software engineering industry, the general consensus is that VS Code is IDE-like with the correct extensions rather than a strict IDE. To avoid confusion, align with the wider software engineering industry and to perhaps aid clarification as to what the difference is between VS and VS Code, I think this distinction should be made in the course.

Granted, even Microsoft are a little ambiguous but I think audiences would appreciate the precision.
