I do use Vim a lot. I am currently using it for some PHP development i'm doing. I'm been using it so much recently that i keep pressing ESC and typing vi commands out of vi.
But, if i use Vi, then whenever i want to test some code i have to open up python, import the necessary modules and run it - I like the idea of developing python in an IDE and just hitting a run button.
