That's a very strange attitude from someone who proselytizes Lisp, the language which pioneered IDEs about 30 years before other languages really had anything comparable.
Emacs, for Common Lisp, is still a much more advanced IDE than many languages have. It used to actually be a significant ingredient in the secret sauce that made Lisp so powerful - an advantage which it has thoroughly lost to IntelliJ/Visual Studio in my opinion.

There's a school of thought that Slime in Emacs is such a different beast from what is generally considered to be an IDE that it doesn't belong in that category. My guess is that pg belongs to that school.

I guess that is because Emacs is just a fraction of what Common Lisp environments are capable of, so what gets happy with what they can get (as free beer).
