Still, it's strange that given the number of people who demand first class IDE support, there are so few who are willing to contribute to improving it.
It's probably that they view programming languages as a tool to get things done. Investing a lot of time in writing an IDE or plugin is time that could instead be spent writing programs that are useful in some other language. That's why languages with better tooling usually have a lot of support from companies. The companies recognize that investing in the tools can help make some of their programmers more productive and it's worth the cost.
