I'm not sure what you mean by "Fancy IDEs", but if it's ones that integrate with the language (eg intellij) then I really disagree that there won't be much benefit. The main benefit I find with a good IDE is that it makes your typing follow the constraints of the scope you are in. A string literal can be any sequence of characters so it's up to you to type them, but when I'm accessing members of a class, I'm not interested in being able to try to access a random string that is not a member of that class. Re: your thinking comment, I also think it's the opposite. When the IDE follows the constraints of the language, it's more intuitive than when it suggests typing random strings everywhere is fine. That's not how a language works, and neither do I find it constructive to think that way.
