I (personal preference) would not do much work without an IDE.
It adds so much (at your fingertips, a lot of this can be done without an ide, but not with a click)
Atom is the favorite of others,
One I had bad luck with was eclipse. That was some time ago, and it may be ok
It's good to try several in the beginning, and then stick with one you like.

- Auto completion of code (I usually turn it off as it annoys me more than helps)
- Instant and automatic version control
- Usually very good debuggers with variable watches, etc.
- Code reformatting (that actually works in the good IDE's)
- Code inspection (like lint). Which I always use before releasing software.
- Packaging help (this has been one of my weaknesses, and something I have to start doing)
- more
