Frankly, when developing for embedded platforms, yes, IDEs are too much to ask for. 90% of embedded programming today is done with command-line tools as it has been for decades. Once in a while someone builds an IDE, but they are invariably so limited in application as to be more or a straightjacket than a real tool. The amount of work it takes to produce a truly useful IDE makes sense only if you're developing on a commercial platform with millions of credit-card holding users. So if you want to develop for Windows, Android, and such, good IDEs are available. If you're programming a custom board, well, better get used to building your own tools.
