Thanks all for your comments. Ultimately I know I'd have to do my own playing around and testing but I was interested to hear what others had to say. Something to consider in there, thanks.

And besides, what's wrong with notepad?!! Just kidding. haha! I often use another editor but for conveniency find myself just bringing up notepad and doing it in that sometimes. I'm not too keen on debugging apps, I prefer to do things the hard way. The expense of effort up front is what tunes ones mind I find. The skill of having to debug your own code improves in time, plus enforces a lot of other mental abilities that I'm finding now beneficial when it comes to programming, so I like to force this effort on myself. I also like to enforce other habits instead of being too "tool" dependent.

I'm still undecided, for the reasons I think I'd need such a tool I end up working out a solution myself. There is only a few reason left why I'd bother and I'm assuming soon I'd find solutions to those things too.

Anyway, I'll have to consider all this some more.
