What is the nature up these updates you're speaking of? The core of the IDE is the editor and a plugin system. Editors are pretty much a solved problem, some people still swear by 40 year old vi and that doesn't seem to make them less employable. Drawing to a GUI instead of a console isn't much of a challenge nowadays either. Whatever updates are required will be for the plugins, and that's not technology specific; Delphi (25+ years ago!), Eclipse and IntelliJ all have that. Visual Studio or XCode painting themselves in a corner by being so rigid is no excuse for using the mushiest language to control the most abstracted platform to design a new IDE.
