Ask HN: Can I still develop web sites with a text editor?

I love the web because I believe it is a great leveler. I do part time development but have come to realise I don't have the time or know how to maintain my own VPS. Reason, I have a full-time job that does not involve developing web sites. I have started exploring static site generators, namely [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/). Why Hugo, because I don't have to install anything, just an exe. My type of application.

I have started looking a CSS libraries like Bootstrap and Foundation. The moment I want to customise something I need to install Sass, Gulp or Node. More applications I know nothing about that I need to learn and maintain. What is your pain-free web development stack?
