I suggest you to spend some time on both of them. For VHDL programs,
emacs is nice. For python I prefer vim.

Get a dictonary and find out the difference between an editor and a

Question is 'Where can I find their RPMs?' and not 'Should I use RPM?'

It would be nice if you can list all the attempts so that others could
