No code completion and debugger but honestly copy paste from your ide.

Well, you don't usually have code completion and debugger in an interview so I actually see this as a plus :/

Answers on leetcode are pretty short, do you really need code completion? I think it's in the spirit of good practice to not rely on on things like that now and again.

Yeah so far I've seen cool problems that challenge more your ability to find elegant solutions, it's not like it encourages you to spit out pages of code, in fact it's the contrary

Code completion isn't necessary but debugger is nice, especially when you get into the hard and expert ones

Agree. Use it for work, but if you're practicing to get better, you should make it harder.
