Octave is the interpreter - you use whatever editor you like to write
programs, and then you feed them into the interpreter. You can also run
the interpreter interactivly and type the commands manually.
If you've ever used the command-line operation of Matlab, it behaves
exactly the same.

Why? There's tons of really high-quality, freely available editors that
have lots of features for doing things like programming. The numerical
computation environment is the interesting bit.
