The technical definition of a fruit is the (often fleshy) part of a plant that surrounds the seeds. By this definition, tomatoes, apples, pumpkins, eggplants, squashes, rose hips, peppers, peapods, cucumbers, and corn kernels are all fruits. All other edible plant parts are considered vegetables. Lettuce, carrots, and spinach are examples of vegetables.
The popular definitions of fruit and vegetable are somewhat different from the technical definitions. Most people categorize "vegetables" as foods that are eaten as part of a meal's main course and "fruits" as foods that are eaten for dessert or as a snack.

It is whatever you want it to be. It is a vegetable because we eat it and it grows on a plant. It is a fruit because it is the fruit of the tomato plant. It is a vegetable because it tastes better with salad dressing. I vote for vegetable, personally.

Botanically, they are a fruit, just as zucchini, pumpkin, etc are. That is because it is the external seed pod that is produced from the flower of the plant.
Nutritional, and gastronomically, they are vegetables. That is because of the vitamins and minerals they provide. Also because of how they are used in recipes.
