Text Editors VS IDEs it's more of a question of what tools do you use to accomplish specific tasks. Although most of my day is spent in a feature rich IDE, I do spend a descent about of time in a text editor for small things.

I prefer SublimeText as a TextEditor. I've been trying to use Atom, but haven't made the complete switch.

I've been playing with WebStorm because I think JetBrains products are #KickAss.

I would recommend to using the best tool for the job/task you're working on. If you're doing .NET Development, then Visual Studio would be your tool of choice.

If you're doing web development for MEAN or LAMP or anything else, you're probably use a combination of SublimeText/Atom and something like WebStorm.

I suggest trying to use as many tools as you can and see which ones work best for you and your workflow. It's always a good thing to know how to use more than one tool.
