I don't think Java the language is particularly unusable without an IDE compared to eg ad-hoc approaches extending weakly-typed languages with type annotations such as TypeScript and Python (while not 100% relevant, I even refactored maven+ant driven builds into Makefiles calling plain javac *.java as recently as a couple months ago, using vim as code editor).
