usually happens in Vim, Sublime or Atom. However, Pycharm is really cool and 
python oriented.

but obviously not enough for coding and I do not have time to learn it, it is a 
pity because there are awesome plugins that turns Vim into a lightweight 
powerful IDE-like. So now it is not an option but I will reconsider it in the 
future, learning little by little. Also, I am not very fan GUI guy if the task 
can be accomplished through the terminal. However, I donâ Öt understand why 
people underrate GUIs, that said I normally use shortcuts for the most frequent 
tasks and when I have to do something that is not that frequent then I do it 
with the mouse, for the latter case in vim you would need to look for that 
specific command every time.

Also, what I like about sublime compared to the full featured IDEs, besides the 
minimalism, is how you can perform code navigation back and forth so fast, I 
mean this is something that you can also do with the others but for some 
subjective reason I specifically love how sublime does it. The code completion 
in sublime I do not find it very intelligence, the SublimeCodeIntel is better 
than the one that Anaconda uses but the completions are not as verbose as in 
the IDEs.
