That c.l.lisp post was from 1999. You might want to invite Kent (or anyone with the experience) to give his opinion on a modern IDE vs. the mythical LispM. I don't think that something like C# on Visual Studio (or equivalent) is very far.
I don't care much, personally. I gave up fiddling Emacs many moons ago, and Python with a semi-competent text editor (nedit will do) is good enough for me. IDEs can write, but cannot read code for you.
