For our GDI HTML/CSS workshops (http://www.teaching-materials.org/ http://www.teaching-materials.org/), I often recommend JSBin.com, because of the live feedback. Once we get to JavaScript and multi-file projects, I usually recommend Sublime Text/Chrome and just make sure to constantly remind them of the workflow and appropriate keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+s, alt+tab, ctrl-shift-r). That's one of the surprising things about teaching web programming - a lot of it is stuff most of us don't think about, like using a file system and remembering keyboard shortcuts. Often times, that's the first hump for students to get over (like for the HTML first exercise), and once they're over that hump, they're good to go for a while.
