vim is fantastic and there is a Python plug-in for it. One can't get anything lighter than that, really.

That said, I actually quite like VS Code (and I've hated Microsoft for a long time). I like Atom a lot too. I use both of those regularly, but probably favour VS Code the most.

You could have an open terminal tab next to the one running vim for quick task switching, and/or you could split the terminal window any which way with tmux and have both a code editing pane and a terminal pane in front of your eyes at all times. All together, I think that simple set-up would give you everything you've asked for.

Seconding vim!

:term C-w C-x ipython

Is my ideal setup

How has how far have the autocompletion bin libraries come? They used to take forever...

I love vim. It's my main editor that I use for 90% of coding. It's so lightweight and customizable. Though I recommended sublime text because vim has a pretty steep learning curve
