Hmm... you may be right. Here's the Smalltalk environment from 1980, it is pretty impressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLPiMl8XUKU

Not only Smalltalk, check Interlisp-D, Mesa XDE and Mesa/Cedar.

Xerox PARC workstations were the first IDEs, alongside Lisp Machines from Genera and TI.

That's pretty much just like a modern window-based user interface... in 1980!! It has overlapping windows, windows can be minimized and moved around, context menu via right-click, spreadsheet-like data... truly amazing.
