To be fair: the "I" differentiated it from the typical Unix style as implemented on MSDOS, which for obvious reasons sucked rocks. No editing while building, no pipes at all (and thus no log analysis in the traditional sense), etc...
Sources? No. But the first IDEs were products like Turbo Pascal, and the term originated to distinguish them from the official Microsoft C Compiler environment (and others: Mark William's C, etc...) which was unix-like.
Sure they are, but they were't marketed using the term "IDE". That acronym appeared AFAIK in the late 1980's in the IBM PC world, and it was used to distinguish those software products from the unix-like MS tools.

There you have 'development' and ' extensible integrated environment'.
