If your machine has 6+ GB of RAM, it doesn't really matter if some IDE uses like half a gig of that. I mean, that's why you bought all that RAM in the first place, isn't it? The point was to use it, right?
Same deal with all those beefy cores. Giving one of them a little bit of work won't hurt one bit.
The only actual downside is that start up takes quite a bit longer than 100msec. However, if you're using it all day, it doesn't really matter if it took 15s to start, does it?
I believe that one should automate as much as possible. Offloading as much brain-dead repetitive work as possible to machines is always a good idea.
So, check if I use the right kind of arguments. Check if that thing has that field or method. Tell me if there are any methods which start with "foo" and if so, tell me their exact names, arguments, and return values. Tell me if the change I just did broke something.
That's the nice thing about machines. They will happily do this stuff over and over again, a thousand times a second. They'll never get tried of it. They'll never complain.
One thing I really dislike about JS is having to check documentation. If you want to use some library/plugin/whatever, you always have to go to its website, navigate to the docs, and then navigate to the specific section. Just to look up the arguments or the names/types of that config object you have to pass to that function.
It's so much nicer and also way faster to do that kind of thing directly in the IDE.

I use Dart. And yes, I do enjoy it. It's very pleasant to use.
