In education, there does seem to be a dichotomy of thought: if you teach using an IDE from day 1, students will miss the concept of compilation and code packaging; or use an IDE from day 1 because that's what you will use in a workplace. I don't see why you couldn't show students both ways, feel the pain in the beginning, and then the satisfaction of eradicating micro-tasks such as complication and reloading resources with tools. But what I never see is a class dedicated to workflow and tooling. I think there is a place for that. Tools do have a bigger role than helpers though, to support older browsers and make more maintainable code, transpilers (babel) and bundlers (web pack) are main-stays of web development now, you will probably use these in a professional environment.
