If memory serves, it was Visual InterDev that won, actually. The VID IDE was the forerunner to Visual Studio.NET 2002, which was the first unified Visual Studio IDE.
n.b. I worked on the Visual Studio Core team, which maintained devenv.exe, among other things, from 2003-2007'ish.
Visual InterDev was the first IDE I ever used outside of notepad. It was bundled in with one Microsofts early webediting tools with office (97/200)....but not FrontPage. I thought I was touching the future, it was so amazing! I really don't remember much about other than the impression that it left on me.
