IDEs visualise more data about the project you're working on then just text editors. It might point out common errors/mistakes you've been doing on your code before executing it.

Text editors don't have these features.

You're also forgetting automated refactors, git integration, maven integration and a whole lotta stuff that IDEs facilitate

For sure, they do got integration up the wazoo!

Though in the past decade or so, the lines have been blurred between a "dumb" editor and a full-on IDE with the advent of LSP, DAP and the like.

The line between text editors and IDE can be blurry, neovim with plugins is a thing.
