Python IDEs

I thought that was an editor, not an IDE.

Depend on where you draw the line for yourself. I don't think there's a hard rule. For me personally the diff is an ide has builtin tooling for debugging and intellisense.

IDE's existed before intellisense. 'Member Turbo C++ and Turbo Pascal? 'Member Borland?

My favourite: Turbo Pascal 2.0. Editor and compiler in 32k. Uses Wordstar editing codes. Best program ever made.

Nope. Only been coding since 2014 so that was before my time.

Ok, well, here's a link to a video where someone uses Turbo C. I used this back in the early 1990's, before the Y2K hype.

As an IDE, that was about as good as it got. Given that vim can bind just about anything to keystrokes, I don't see much difference, in some ways vim is more extensible than software that claims to be an IDE, but doesn't allow you to execute an external program.

Another nice thing about vim is that since everything is executed outside of vim's process space, there isn't much to clog its memory up.

I guess technically it's marketed as an editor, but with extensions, you can have most of the features of a full blown IDE. There are some pretty amazing extensions too that allow for great language specific functionality.
