I think there is an interesting pattern that every larger software interface that is designed mostly by the developers converges against the IDE in which it was developed. But then on the other hand, superficial designers often just adjust towards the look and feel of their preferred environment as well (e.g. tendency towards the old iPhone look back then, then suddenly switch towards the flat new look of iOS, etc. And even in non-mobile applications like web applications).
