Personally my usage tends to cascade as Eclipse (PyDev) -> Pluma/Gedit -> Vim depending on where I am focused on at the moment. I use Eclipse because I also do a lot of stuff in Java, but I've been leaning towards Atom more for non-Java stuff. Plugins <https://atom.io/packages/python-tools> give Atom full IDE-like functionality (it's better than Eclipse for Python and JavaScript).
All of these tools are free and open source.
