Colour-coding, right? Quite beneficial. But, no, not necessary. Crimson
Editor does that by default; no additional files necessary.

If you take care how you code, leaving appropriate whitespace and
perhaps even indents of code blocks, Notepad will work well. However,
since it is a weak and basic editor, most people would choose something
better, especially a tool that can edit multiple files at the same time.
