When I write Javascript I don't feel like I need an IDE, but when I write PHP I need a good IDE for imports, getters and setters, stringly-typed frameworks like symfony, "doctrine" annotations. Java at least has some decent free IDEs that can generate the boilerplate that are by far superior to PHPStorm.

Isn't it more like that with Javascript an IDE can't help you much anyway.

I agree completely. And to expand on that, TypeScript with an IDE is a joy to work with in comparison.
