Web developers don't miss these features, because they don't know any better. ;-)
Some years ago it was all too easy to become a web developer, because the technology was in its infants. Some basic scripting knowledge in Perl or PHP was enough for the server side to generate some HTML. The clients were humble in those days, all they wanted was a web "site" (not a web "app"). And there was no need for responsive design (actually nothing worth being called "design" at all) and no client-side functionality, except for what you could fiddle with jQuery. So Javascript was of no importance and also not considered to be a decent language. So yes, a text editor was indeed enough for building a website.
But of course it's very different today and there really is a need for a decent IDE.

My thoughts exactly. Projects tend to never stay small these days. Which is why I am wondering why there is no decent community-driven IDE for it.
