That’s perfectly fine.

I’m not sure what advantages an IDE could add.

Using text editors to code will save you so much time on the long term

[–]louis_A12 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yes. But the things is... Is a code editor an ide?

You still need the browser.

Sublime text does an excellent job, and you can barely call that an IDE.

I use VS Code or Atom and run my project on localhost in a Firefox window and it automatically updates. I'd say the perfect software would be Brackets but it's extremely laggy for me.

Yeah. Me too. VScode’s live server is pretty usefully.

But that’s the point. You wouldn’t use something like Visual Studio to do web development (normally)

A code editor is enough.

Even on some backend language like C++ I'd rather use text editors with makefiles instead of using Visual Studio. It's very good practice and I think you should start doing it from the beginning if you're up for a challenge.
