Of course it is. Text-editing is text-editing. It requires even fewer 'features' than word-processing, though there is quite a bit of overlap between the two.
Note that a text-editor is not an IDE. When developing, I text-edit the source code, then I invoke the compiler. If necessary, I can then invoke the debugger.
It's just as quick to do that from the CLI as bouncing around inside an IDE.
EDIT: To answer your original question, I still do some programming in 8-bit CP/M. My text-editor for that is actual original WordStar.
