This really depends on the applicant and the coding question being asked. Writing a fizzbuzz implementation shouldn't require any IDE, intellisense, or any tools for that matter. I wouldn't expect a coding interview using this tool to be asking anything more than a simple coding question, or else this gets unweildy quickly, but not because of a lack of an IDE, but because I'm typing in a small textarea. You should try writing out some code on paper some time and see how you do. Without any of the fancy tools to act as a crutch, you'll find that your memory gets better and you are able to crunch more logic in your head.
