that depends on your programming style : if you do compile very often so to have integrated ide with compiler is key point. but if you work on bigger pieces of code so some text editing features become more important. and you can always find out how to integrate mt4 as an external compiler with sublime text or notepad++, I have not tried it yet but suppose it possible to get working solution.
