I got my start with banging hex into TIM then moved up to a 4K in-ROM
line-at-a-time assembler, _then_ got a disk drive and an
editor/assembler environment. Game programming that took over the
machine meant a reset/reboot every code cycle, so an IDE doesn't
really fit into that environment.

Or, cheap and usable integrated development
environment.
I think Fred has nailed it. AFAIK Turbo Pascal had the first integrated development
environment among CP/M software development systems.
