Fish sucks (but your shell sucks more)

I think it's important to remember what IDE actually stands for: integrated development environment.

That implies that the standard development environment used to not be integrated. And that's exactly what Unix is: a development environment where the tools are not integrated into one place. That sounds like a bad thing on the face of it, but I do not think it is. I think it allows for more flexibility.

Isn't the "one place" the shell?

But that is a completely open-ended interface, as opposed to an IDE where you can only perform pre-defined actions. You access it all from one place, but all of your tools are not integrated together.

No, the shell is the integration. The shell provides plumbing, not the environment itself.
