IMO the only company that has been able to successfully "productize" a language/programming environment is Microsoft, and that is because companies were paying a LOT of money for these tools a decade or two ago.

You're overlooking Borland, Metrowerks, Micro Focus, etc.

If you're thinking of companies that are still making shit-tons of money productizing programming languages/environments today, Microsoft is the major player, but it's a battle even they are losing. They just open-sourced .NET, their programming bread and butter.
