Although it’s a good idea to have tools to make things easier, I have the idea that some of those tools are created by a couple of enthusiasts, made available, and then the enthusiasm is gone and no updates follow. Take the JetBrains plugin. It is still buggy (and yes, I send a crash report every time it crashes – some of my colleagues stopped working with it at altogether), and yet it did not have an update in one-and-a-half year. The last update dealt with compatibility issues for version 2016.1 of JetBrains editors (current version is 2017.4 with 2018.1 on the way). Notice that this is paid-for software. Same goes for Sencha inspector, its last version is even older (almost two years now).
