If I could weigh in, I don't see why one has anything to do with the other. Many people enjoy using IDEs regardless of what language they're using. Historically, the case has been that statically typed languages benefitted more from an IDE, because there is less ambiguity in symbol resolution (functions or methods are known, typed entities, rather than a string). BTW, Clojure is similar to statically typed languages in that respect in that its dispatch mechanism uses namespaces, so symbol "foo" is well known (either as a function, a macro, a multimethod or a protocol method) symbol in a specific namespace, so that you can easily find its usages or jump to definition.

But even languages with more ephemeral dispatch (Ruby, Javascript, Groovy) can benefit from an IDE. It's often convenient to have an editor, a debugger, and control over the build in a single program (and that's why emacs is an IDE).

So I don't see any connection between IDEs and the JVM. Some people enjoy IDEs and some don't.
