I could care less what is and isn't an IDE. Does it help me get my development and maintenance work done as easily as possible without getting in the way? Many an IDE frankly does not satisfy that. I may be a bit of a special case though. Except for better debugging support I will work away in Emacs much of the time. :) Much more real estate to see and spelunk the actual code without a lot of extraneous crap. And tools for many things that most IDEs do not make as straightforward.
