I agree with you. I find myself jumping from TextPad or vim to
PythonWin, because TextPad does not have help/autocompletion, but is
fast (not so vim or emax). PythonWin is slow but has a debugger and a
sort of semyfunctional help/autocompletion.

SPE looks good, but lacks debugger and project/workspace management.
In short: none of this tools does not come close to Visual C IDE.
