It's probably that they view programming languages as a tool to 
get things done. Investing a lot of time in writing an IDE or 
plugin is time that could instead be spent writing programs that 
are useful in some other language. That's why languages with 
better tooling usually have a lot of support from companies. The 
companies recognize that investing in the tools can help make 
some of their programmers more productive and it's worth the cost.
