Those *aren't* part of the IDE.  They are part of a graphical
application development tool, but not an IDE.  Turbo Pascal was the
original IDE on the PC, and it had none of the things you mentioned.

Being able to grab stuff off the button-bar is *NOT* part of an IDE.

Arguing with you is useless because when people refute the points you
make, you change the topic or the rules.  If I continue, somehow this
will all boil down to an arguement for VM86() mode, and I don't want to
even hear that again. :)
