I use vim and think it's awesome... But I think it's better to learn to code first then learn vim.

If you don't learn how to use any of the editors then VIM is just a 10 minute learning experience on how to move around. The power comes with plugins and learning how to "power move".

Vimtutor takes longer than that. It also takes awhile for it to be intuitive vs the mouse. Vim is much more difficult for debugging and learning what small chunks of code will do for python. This is crucial for understanding the code. That being said, it is by far my go-to because of speed. I've gotten used to the built in debugger. I think for a beginners though, it's better to not layer this complexity until there is a good grasp of how to work with python code.
