What is the best open source Django IDE ?

I would say VIM, too. Emacs should be very good too, but I've never used it. Their advantage: 1) you can use them from the command line, so over SSH too, and they (at least VI) are available everywhere
2) they're so wide spread that there's a plug-in for almost everything
3) they're so configurable that you can write a plug-in to do anything you want
4) learn once, use for anything

Admitted, there are disadvantages: they have a learning curve, expecially VIM, but once you know how to use them, they increase your productivity a lot.

Features:
- autocompletion
- very very very strong search and replace
- macro's
- configurable key bindings/commands

Comparison of VIM and Emacs (what I've read):
- Emacs is monolithic (does everything, for example includes shell), VIM is unix style (does one thing well, why reproduce the shell?)
- The unix cli uses Emacs key bindings (but VI bindings are optional)
- Emacs doesn't have different (confusing) modes, VIM doesn't leave you with a crippled little finger (from all the <C-...>'s)
- VIM has more commands than Emacs

I would say Emacs makes you more productive on shorter term, VIM makes you more productive on longer term.
