Yes, there is a text-editor in EasyC PRO; it was there last year as well.

Though if you like coding in a text editor environment, I would suggest downloading Eclipse and the WPILib toolchain. If you search these forums, you will find a variety of threads on these topics.

It's much faster to develop advanced coding using WPILib; last year Team 228's robot used closed-loop feedback for every system on our robot using an accelerometer, two gyros, two encoders, and an IR range sensor. Using all these sensors, we also created a fully closed-loop autonomous mode to do drive-by scoring on the rack - the only team in the nation to master not only scoring without stopping, but also while in autonomous.
