On Windows and Linux both I use vim and IPython. They make a rather powerful
combination. Then again so do a lot of other configurations, so whatever you
feel comfortable with.

The vim keybindings are extremely powerful, though, and regardless of what
editor you choose, I recommend picking one that has good keybindings either
natively or through a plugin.
