Judging from watching my co-workers use Visual C++, that's not a very
good IDE either.... god what a mess its UI is (it takes them So Long to
do even the most elementary tasks; it's downright painful to watch).
Maybe they tried to do usability studies at some point but it's pretty
clear that either that did a really bad job of them, or gave up at some
point. My suspicion is that many "IDEs" have grown via roughly the same
process of feature-aggregation that Emacs has.
