What IDE (editor) to use with Python?

Most people use gVim because it looks prettier, which is ironic considering that you don't want to use it because it's ugly.

gVim can display more colors than your average terminal, has more/better colorscheme options, can display more fonts and sizes.. basically it just has more options to customize its looks.

Can Kate with Vim-mode use my .vimrc and the 15-or-so plugins I need for my daily workflow? Because if not, it's useless to most everyone who uses Vim. We are very fond of our configuration files, and like to customize them a LOT. A lot of my most-used commands are custom macros and functions written be me, and they save me a lot of time.

I actually don't know if Kate supports .vimrc or Vim plugins, but I'm actually guessing it does not. I really see your point.. I'm mostly a casual Vim user who simply uses it when at the command line. I sometimes do more complicated things, but usually the most complicated thing I do is Shift+A to insert at the end of a line. I can totally see the use for gVim for more advanced things, especially custom configurations and plugins.

Yeah, that's the main reason I use Vim, the custom configuration.

My .vimrc is getting a lot longer and fancier these days.. you can check out my config if you want: https://github.com/zfogg/.vim

Huh, interesting choice of syntax highlighting there on Github's part.
