IDE's has their place especially when working on along the lines of Java, .NET, large C++ codebase etc. For Python I would expect people to use vim or emacs and alike.
vim is nice, but I'm still struggling to get 100% auto-completion (I'm using jedi-vim and sometimes it doesn't find stuff I'd expect it to) and I have no refactoring ("extract method", "change definition", etc.) or "go to definition". Can you recommend me how to configure it for Python editing? I've tried many guides, the one I used is http://redkrieg.com/2012/12/11/writing-python-like-a-jedi/ but it still lacks a lot of things... Thank you very much!
ctags - http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ should give you "go to definition", no matter what you use emacs or vim

here is something with a bit more detail - http://tartley.com/?p=1277

text editors are for wussies. sed to write. cat to read.
here you go troll, watch the one minute demo. tell me you can edit code with this kind of an efficiency in your IDE - https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts
wut? that looked like a text editor to me. VIM + shell is an IDE of another kind and its what I use (or Sublime Text, when I feel like it). apparently you think I was advocating the use of IDE's because I made a joke. who's the troll now? dick.
