I love VS code, but insisting that its parsing is even nearly as good as anything from Jetbrains is laughable. Working with Rust in VS code is no where near as good as IntelliJ for example, and their Javascript `intellisense` is best in class.
However, what I personally hated was that there's so many squiggly underlined things ... in red, yellow, green and what other colors, each of which (regardless of color) could be either ignored or an actual error. Granted, that's how easy it is to properly check JS code for whether it does something sensible, but I didn't really find it helpful, especially because issue categorization and accuracy was so random.

Stockholm syndrome is strong with this one. =)
the reason you didn't find the IDE suggestions helpful is exactly because of how difficult it is to reason about dynamic language code. the tooling is basically just guessing and expecting you to deal with the noise on the off chance it found something.
