I first learned vi in 1984, and I've always liked it. When vim became available on Windows I was very happy. I've had periods where I've used Emacs, but I have not been tempted that direction for a couple of years now because I've become spoiled with font smoothing, which I can't get to work on Emacs.

It has a really nice set of features, very thoughtfully chosen and implemented: automatic saving, auto-comple suggestions, automatic text replacements, snippets. It is (for now, hopefully) missing a few features. Themes, and and the kind of auto-complete suggestions that allow you to discover methods that you haven't used before. (Scribes gets its auto-complete suggestions from words you've typed to it before). For quick test and discovery, I use the iPython shell with scribes.

Two weeks ago I began a trial of Wing IDE and I love it. It's easy to change to a black background, you can switch to a VI 'Personality' which makes the editing modal and changes the keybindings, and the debugging and autocompletion features are the best I've come across (autocomplete for dynamic languages is hard!). It also shows you syntax errors on the fly, and integrates with PyLint. I think I'm going to be buying it when my trial runs out.
