I primarily develop in Python these days, and have been giving Django a try. John Anderson posted a very detailed, excellent blog post about using VIM as a python IDE. If you follow that post, and use synic’s colorscheme, you pretty much have my IDE environment. I find this feature complete with any Visual Studio type program I have used, as long as you know a few vim commands you will be good to go.

I should also note, to install a plugin for vim, you just put it in your .vim/plugin directory. If that dir does not exist, just create it (mkdir -p ~/.vim/plugin)
