No, but here's an interesting fact: I, for one, don't care about such features.
I don't feel the necessity to use something that doesn't benefit me, when i can accomplish the same goals with a simple code editor.

You can, of course, feel that for you, a full IDE with all the bells and whistles is necessary; tons of people simply don't. It all comes down to personal preferences.

Food for thought though: I'd be really happy to have a "semantic highlight/coloring" feature where i could define certain terms or even lines to be in groups like "logging", "input handling", etc. because i'd utilize that more, and yet, this doesn't exist in any application that i've found and tried... whether it was an IDE or just a "primitive" textcode editor. i can only guess at the reasons why, but most probably this: people apart from me didn't need this feature (yet).

IDEs are holdover from the times where it was either that or Microsoft Notepad, or worse - Vi. Same as two-panel file managers coming from the times where it was either that or DOS command line. Modern text editors have all the features you might wish for and they don't suffer from being extremely heavyweight, monolithic and non-customizable like IDEs. Try Microsoft Visual Studio Code text editor.

Visual Studio Code - Free to use!

If I could use Notepad++ without using Wine, then I would be satisfied. But for now, I'm contented with using Linux Mint's Xed.

Scite.

Awww... ye olde editor discuss.

I'm using neovim. Fight me.

Atom with plugins (love-launcher, lua-autocomplete, autocomplete-love, fonts) on Linux.

Looks pretty much like Atom, but written in lua. No plugins for LOVE yet, but pretty cool non the less.

Notepad. The one that comes default with windows.

I use VSCode for everything. It's a great tool
