The aspects of JavaScript we love – open typing, functions as first class objects, that wonderful prototypical inheritance model – are also its achilles heel when it comes to IDE support. Keep those API docs on speed dial because the most you can hope for when coding in JavaScript is for the IDE to politely suggest some strings you’ve already typed elsewhere.

Any kind of understanding of the frameworks, libraries, and idioms I commonly use? Not likely.

Code completion for JavaScript? Generally unreliable. When doing so, I find that I expect far less from my IDE than when coding in Java. Like most developers, I also write a ton of JavaScript code. For better or worse, I’ve become married to IntelliJ, til death do us part. I’ve been developing in Java for over a decade but honestly I’m not sure I could get anything beyond a hello world app to compile if all I had was vi and javac. When writing the Sencha Ext JS plugin for JetBrains IDEs, I rarely typed a full line of code without IntelliJ finishing it for me.
