Using Unix as an IDE (2012)

I'll add that I enjoy using Common Lisp and Scheme REPL environments. I also really like Squeak as an interactive programming environment. Neither has replaced the old school Unix shell as my preferred command invocation environment, at least in my professional life.

I have the same experience, and I suspect it's because we haven't replicated the utilities in these environments. No one uses them as a replacement for shell because no one has done the work to use them as a replacement for shell.

Personally, I think Prolog is the right way to go, but I have this idea that I don't want to spend the rest of my life typing into a teletype emulator.
