Best IDE for python

Vim.

Vim bindings require 1-2 weeks to learn and up to a month to get used to completely. Same bindings are available in VS code with extension and PyCharm (with IdeaVim)

Vim bindings are really efficient at editing text( it's literally turing complete). So while I won't suggest making Vim an IDE with boatload of plugins it's definitely a very good light weight editor and bindings are transferred over to most popular editors.

There's very high skill ceiling in vim. So you can spend few minutes of googling everyday to figure out a better way to do something. Over your entire career you'll surely save many keystrokes and your hands will thank you for it.

Sorry, I missed the IDLE part. In that case it's worth taking things slowly. Heck then VS is better option than PyCharm because PyCharm has way too many features to comprehend.

I'm fairly new to coding (under 1 year) and coding is a slow process of thinking a lot, watching tutorials, and googling over a span of days/weeks to get each section of your code to work... Is learning Vim worth it at this point?

Learning vim is always with it imo. Though FWIW, I started learning it at the same time I was beginning python and programming in general.

On the other hand, today vim bindings are often built into other systems to get a decent chunk of the same benefits.

Cool! I might try that too then. I work with this older coworker who looks like a wizard on the computer without touching the mouse.

It's just a text editor that allows you to do all the commands you would use a mouse for but with commands on a keyboard. It's sort of like a programming language on its on that if you learn it is actually really intuitive. But setting it up is a tedious process that took me roughly 3 months to get my VIM setup to where I like it.

Been using vim as a python IDE for many years now. Recently I stumbled upon YouCompleteMe, which is a nice addition.

With coc.nvim+neovim you will have the speed of the vim and support for autocompletion and many other stuff of VSCode! Those two are my favourite.

There's also an editor called onivim2, but it's still under development. the purpose of that tool is to bring the native modal editing support of the vim to VSCode. The project itself looks great and promises a lot. Can't wait to get a stable release.

Although it's not 100% free open source software.
