Modern code completion does, yes. Just as static analysis goes beyond type checking of a language. The computing resources necessary to support modern tools is beyond what older tools had.

I am not trying to make this an "us versus them." To the contrary, I'm trying to point out both toolsets have many of the same advantages.

I will even concede that static languages do seem to have the better IDEs today. I assert that is as much a by product of money spent on development. Not a foregone conclusion of language design.
