vim used to have this listed in :help design-not - Vim is not a shell or an Operating System. You will not be able to run a shell inside Vim or use it to control a debugger. This should work the other way around: Use Vim as a component from a shell or in an IDE. A satirical way to say this: "Unlike Emacs, Vim does not attempt to include everything but the kitchen sink, but some people say that you can clean one with it. ;-)" In summary, it took it so long to get it because it explicitly goes against the original design (and I kind of think it was the right choice. Emacs already exists).
