Toward a “modern” Emacs

JS development in IntelliJ/WebStorm is an amazing experience. The refactoring features alone make it easy to write code without worrying about details like "where does the file go" or "what should I name this". You can get the code working and rename / move code with a single click later on, knowing the refactor will propagate through the app.

The intellisense is amazing too. Start typing a method name and you see arguments with type annotations. it's overkill for scripting, but working on tangled legacy code it's very helpful.

I've heard people say that, but what I find is that they pick shitty names and never refactor. I'm on a different team now. Most of us use vim.

Yeah, but then when someone tells you in code review to pick a less shitty variable name, it still takes one click.

Sadly, when you get a reputation for giving that feedback, people stop asking you to review.

Damn. You must work on a shitty team.
