I don't know if it is still the case, but Emacs used to be a decent IDE
for many languages even before IDE existed. You could split your session
into two windows, one window for editing and one window for compiling
and Emacs would highlight the errors in your source code in reaction to
the failures of the compilation.

I used that feature on plain text terminals to code in PL1 some 35
years ago.
