Actually, emacs can also be used a directory browser...
Unix (and it's progeny, like Linux) was designed from the start to be an
integrated development environment. Instead of having one big application
doing it all for you, Unix has lots of smaller tools that all work
together to build software. The IDE as most people think of it, in the
Windows and Mac worlds, came about because these systems were originally
single-tasking operating systems and having several programs working
simultaneously was just not feasible.
