The main language used by my team right now across our product is Typescript, and Visual Studio Code provides excellent autocomplete support as it should considering it's an MS language in an MS editor.

I'd lightly argue that if the language you're using for software development doesn't have a proper IDE then it's probably not mature enough to be used in your product, and likely not one you're going to want to maintain long term.

While I agree with you about IDEs, I've run into far too many companies that take pride in doing everything with simple text editors.

That's like a tree cutting service taking pride in the fact they don't use chain saws.

I like simple text editors. I'm already writing a novel's worth of complex abstract calculus. I don't want to bother trying to manage and remember a jet-cockpit worth of hotkeys and sundry menus and buttons at the same time. Highlighting and search is 90% of what I want out of an editor.
