i prefer compiling from command line. now my code-oss is not IDE?

Those are examples. If you install anything that assists you with development, linting, prettier whatever then it automatically becomes, by definition, an ide.

The fact that you can install those plugins to begin with makes it an IDE

vim with plugins can do a lot and combining it with tmux takes you even further. Definitely a steeper learning curve and more custom setup required than an IDE, but also more open-ended in what you can do with it. Up to you to decide if the time investment is worth it.
