Have you looked into Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/)? I've not used it extensively, and only on Windows, but it's an open source IDE originated by MS that purportedly works on Windows, Linux & OS X.
It does have pretty decent Python support (haven't tried debugging, but syntax highlighting works well). There's also a really good vim extension available. I tend to prefer vim (or vim extensions) when I can because even though I probably know less than 10% of vim's capabilities, I'm more productive using it. I also use the VsVim extension in full proper Visual Studio.
