This has been a great discussion and when I first entered college I was required to take Pascal. At that time we used Turbo Pascal IDE--if you want to call it an IDE. As with anything technology advances and we have new tools for the job and I became spoiled once Visual Studio hit the market. I really can't see doing any large project without a full blown IDE. Yes, vim or any text editor is suitable for Python, but I prefer having a nice GUI interface while coding. I mean the automobile replaced the horse and buggy, while they both get you to your destination I would still rather travel in a car.
