Just to clarify, you have two concepts mixed up there. The compiler is the program that does the conversion from one language to another (c code to machine code for example). As such, some of the ones you have mentioned are indeed compilers like the Visual C++ compìler (one of the worst if you ask me, in the sense that it deviates A LOT from the ANSI standard), or gcc, or Windows implementations of gcc like mingw
Then we have IDE's, which stand for Integrated Development Environment, and those come in different flavors as well, like Dev-C++ and Visual C++ for Windows; Anjuta and code::blocks for Linux
