Lem doesn't claim to be a Lisp development environment or IDE. It describes itself as

General-purpose editor/IDE with high expansibility in Common Lisp

For historical interest, Lem did used to advertise itself as a Common Lisp development tool specifically, but that has changed relatively recently (past year?). From my distant vantage point, it looks like general interest in it grew, and Lem itself evolved in general-purpose directions, so they pivoted the messaging to be about it serving as a general-purpose editor instead of one just for Common Lisp.
