If you're just looking at the open stacks, you can iterate through them 
using

revStackNameIsIDEStack(tStackName)

which will return true if it's a system stack.

According to the comments for revIDEStackNameIsIDEStack which call it,

A stack is considered part of the IDE if any of the following are satisfied:
* Its name begins with "rev"
* It was loaded by the initialisation library
* Its name begins with "com.livecode."
* Its name is "message box, answer dialog, ask dialog, or home"
* Its _ideoverride property is true
