No, it means that tools can be made to improve the developer experience…
IMO, the only reason why java is still in use - superb IDE and tooling, that compensate terrible language design.
Poor language design (undecideable edge cases, dynamic and unpredictable meanings) makes it impossible to create a satisfying IDE experience.
If you're using vim or emacs to write code, you're wasting your employer's time. A good IDE makes you more productive.
