Welcome! No, you don't *need* an IDE. Some people like them and are the more productive for them, but if standalone tools have served you well for 20 years, they'll continue to do so. My current editor is SciTE, because it supports all the languages I use (except LilyPond - must look into that one day) and is available on Windows as well (I support both platforms), but there are plenty of other excellent editors, and vim is definitely one of them. When I'm on Windows, I like to keep IDLE handy, but not for editing source files. IDLE feels much nicer than command-line Python for interactive work; the ability to recall entire blocks of code, rather than individual lines, is hugely advantageous. (I don't do enough on Linux IDLE to be able to call the difference there, but GNU readline is so much better than the Windows interactive line reader that it's not as big an issue.) To me, IDLE is my calculator, my test space for python-list posts, and so on, but SciTE is where I write actual code. ChrisA
