When I first started using VS in the 90's, I thought how can they even call this Integrated?
Eventually I realized that what K. called "the unix programming environment" was an IDE. An Integrated Development Environment, including Shell and Storage and Editor and Compiler, and you could compile and edit from the shell (ok, editing took you into a subshell). And that is why IDE's like Eclipse were and are so dreadful compared even to TP 3: they try to virtualize / recreate / upgrade the "unix programming environment" of a federation of tools, shells, scripts and persistence, rather than the seamless single-source QB / TP environment.
Visual Studio stole the "visual" moniker from Visual Basic: it didn't offer visual development like VB, it just took the branding. IDE's like VS and Eclipse are Development Environments, but they aren't Integrated Development Environments like QB and TP: they just took the branding.
