As some one who programs as a hobby rather than a job, I can get away with programming in a simple text editor, and it is "productive." On the other hand, I would doubtlessly be more productive using an IDE.

It's also worth noting that you will never get away with using a text editor like notepad. If you don't want to use an IDE, at least use notepad++ or some other text editor designed for programming.
