Even though I use software and usually recommend it for beginners, I learned to code most of the common HTML codes by hand and started with Notepad before I used an editor. It's nice to learn the basics because it helps with troubleshooting.
It's sort of like driving a car. You don't have to know everything about what's under the hood when the car is working fine, but when something goes wrong it's good to have some knowledge of the nuts and bolts on the inside.
