Is the possibility of not finding another job realistic? I keep reading about the amazing demand for developers etc.

  Recruiter here. Looking for a job while unemployed reduces your leverage and to at least some degree can potentially reduce how attractive you appear to an employer. If you have incredible skills it doesn't matter much, but having no job gives the appearance that no one wants you. If you quit your job without having another one lined up, that can give the impression that you make rash decisions that are perhaps not very wise. It's best to have a job while looking for one, but depending on who you are it won't always be a huge detriment to be unemployed during a search.
