Workspace is an IDE, or Internet Development Environment. In short of it provides the text editor, and web server in one convenient package. Most similar to it is would be a service like Cloud 9.

However, there is nothing wrong, and it's still most common I think, to just use a text editor like Atom or Sublime, and install the languages/web server you need for your project on your computer. That's what I almost always do.

like Kevin mentioned go with something like atom or sublime i use sublime personally and its defiantly worth it. But there a load of different editors out there what i a suggest is just do a google search on the popular editors that are being used and play around with them to see what one you like the most.
