Editing vs IDE

Editing
The most sought after features that I like to see in an editor are context sensitive hiliting and a lot of short cut keys.  It would also be nice to have auto completion of commands.  I don't have the latter within VimCE.  

IDE
The ability to execute the modified code with a single click is really cool.  It would also be cool to support auto completion of commands.  A third feture would be the ability to enter some break points for debugging.  Another capability would be to be able to access a graphical GUI builder, look at your code using a UML viewing mode, etc.

IDLE is a pretty decent editor and IDE.  But I am far more proficient editing code from within Vim.  All I want over and above a decent editor for the pda environment now is the ability to execute that modified code easily without having to use 4 or 5 clicks  (to find files that are deep within some file folder structure on my Storage Card).   I have discovered a few work arounds which gets it down to two clicks and now I don't have to worry about a modified py module not being reloaded by IDLE and executed.   So that is the extent of my search for a better "IDE" at this juncture.
