> You don't need static typing to do codebase-wide renaming.

But you do. WebStorm isn’t magical. It can’t understand your untyped code like it can understand typed code.

The more I’m reading your comments on this thread the more I’m not sure you’ve ever used a static typed language with a good IDE. If I am correct, I think it makes more sense for you to try Java/IntelliJ and then weigh in on this subject. You may have a very different opinion.
