I'm completely new to coding and I'm wondering if I will need an IDE or text editor if I'm using something like Sails.js (a real time MVC framework) in the attempt to build a node app. It seems like the IDE/text editor functionality is built into Sails.js. For more on Sails (http://www.sailsjs.org/#/).
Btw, I'm not looking to grow into a CTO but rather I'm a DiY entrepreneur that wants to build an MVP and go about building a team or raising money with prototype in hand. I care nothing for learning great practice or fundamentals of programming besides what's pragmatic for the express goal of building an MVP as I have no interest in being a career programmer. Having said that, I'd like my MVP to work and I don't want to do something dumb either.
Thank you for the guidance!
Sails is a web framework. You will need some kind of text editor in order to write code to handle each request. I suggest you start a level up and learn the basics of what a language is and how it plays into building an app before you select a framework or runtime.
Something like http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript can get you started.
