IMO a decent editor is a must for statically typed languages - it's such a productivity boost to navigate by type information, type safe refactoring, etc. Main benefit of static typing is enabling tooling to reason about your code - not using IDEs is throwing a huge chunk of it away. Historically it was easy to get projects that would be too large for real-time tooling - but these days the IDEs got better and you can get 32 or even 64 GB ram into a workstation trivially - I haven't seen a scenario like that in years. I've also noticed GitHub supports type navigation in some languages, but yeah for nontrivial reviews I'll usually do a checkout anyway.
