I am not sure how this matters, since 99.9% of development doesn't
even touch a shell, and wouldn't need the facilities of even those
(MinGW/Cygwin) anyway. An IDE works with files, it may compile things,
it probably does some socket stuff connecting to a versioning system
or source repository, but all the capacities of the programs being
developed depend on the capacities of the languages that they're built
in, and all stuff outside that can easily be provided by the IDE itself.
(EG: Who cares if you've got a posix grep utility around if your IDE
would be built with a regexp library bound in anyway?)
