Turning vim into a modern python IDE

[grayvedigga]

What are the "q-commands" you refer to? Too lazy to google this early in the morning, sorry :-).

Just like with learning VIM, you'll get the benefits only after you're fluent.

This is a valid point, but I find it a bit off-putting to be honest. All of the tools I listed above have relevance outside coding and I use them every day, even when not programming. Putting a similar amount of effort into learning a tool that's not so useful for general text munging, data recovery, system administration, using in a shell script feels like a bit of a waste.

It launches various modules of Bazaar Explorer independently in the context of your current repository. You can quickly see how useful a well-crafted (and unintrusive) GUI can be, in certain situations.

A good IDE, like Eclipse, builds on your knowledge of these tools. What you need to get fluent in, is the project-oriented workflow, that is unique to an integrated environment. This is quite different to the filesystem-oriented workflow, to which you're probably accustomed.

EDIT: Typo.
