This kind of thing goes back five decades, actually. One of the earliest versions of Unix was PWB/Unix, for "Programmers' Workbench". It was designed as a system for AT&T engineers to author programs for the mainframe in a more sensible (for the time) environment and included software to submit jobs to the mainframe once the programs were written.

The idea of "Unix as your IDE" is a deep, deep cut into Unix lore.
