I think that an IDE makes it simpler to use, but that quickly writing accurate code is a better choice.
I personally use notepad when using my FTP or more often my cpanel light text editor. I haven't had too many issues thus far and have certainly never thought "if only this was easier, or I had some annoying code completion popping up and forcing me to use three arrows and an enter key to accept that one instead of just writing out the last 3 letters of this function."
And aswell as klr, I think this sounds trolly, but really, the time taken to download, install and learn an IDE could just be spent improving the code in notepad instead.
