when I am coding embedded Javascript, XML, HTML, CSS and the like, I use a text editor. Im mostly in a windows environment, and I use Notepad++. And IDE can be nice...but IMO it can be overkill on some things. When you think about it, and IDE is just a glorified text editor. I can't tell you on VI, my experience is nill with it. I can tell you that coding in a text editor first will let you appreciate the power of these newer IDE's.
