Yes, but none of those IDEs were developed concurrently with the language by tightly integrated teams (well, except smalltalk).

If that was the case for C#/.NET, they really didn't have much to show for it at time of release. IntelliJ IDEA that came out a year later was a fancier, more 'integrated' IDE.

But beside smalltalk, there were lots of others. All the commercial Lisps, Dylan etc. Somewhat more mainstream-ish - the NeXT Objective C environment is a good and much earlier example.

There were lots of interesting things about .NET when it came out, the IDE-ness of it doesn't strike me as one of them at all.

Yes they were. Delphi and Visual Basic are the most obvious examples of IDE-centric languages. You couldn't even buy the compiler separately from the IDE.

VB comes from the same lineage. Heck, even delphi does, obviously.
