It's not so bad when you lean on Visual Studio to do your typing.

I imagine there's some sort of causal relationship between ultra-powerful IDEs and languages that are verbose. The question is: are the IDEs powerful because the languages require them to be OR did the language evolve to become more verbose due to the IDE eliminating most of the pain associated with verbosity? Both? Neither?

A mixture. The verbosity is basically enforced documentation - you're describing more about your code, and how you expect it to work, but that gives the IDE information to help you with that description.
