Are you actually referring to using/the use of MS Visual Studio? It depends on the work you need to do. Use something that will work for the project you are busy with. And speak to people pn your team about how they like to work. Because it is easy to open a pg in notepad and create a couple of web pages. Some IDEs automate the inclusion of certain functionality. Large IDEs can save so much time and money if ghry are implemented correctly for what you are working with. They also autolink or include tools and templates.
