I started programming with .Net languages via Visual Studio (which is quite a good IDE), and I disliked dynamic languages exactly for the reasons you list. But nowadays I mostly prefer dynamic, optionally typed languages ala Julia.
Typing a '.' and seeing the members is very nice, except when the type is not concrete and it's not clear what type is actually being returned. Then you'd have to do trial-and-error using a slow compile cycle. In a dynamic language like lisp, you could just `(inspect x)`. In Python, you can just `embed()` and run, e.g., `x.__dict__`.
The IDE telling you about syntax errors and non-existent functions etc is very nice, except when you use macros and meta-programming and now your stupid IDE won't just shut up (I have this problem even with Python in VSCode).
