Perhaps someone could share their experience using the magic command %run in Ipython? I'm just testing it out, and unfortunately it doesn't seem to do a full reload of all imported modules etc. IDLE's <F5>, on the other hand, does. This is annoying! Any tips?

changes as you type
also, what editor do you use with ipython? I quite liked the idle built in editor
You can use any editor you want, as ipython has very poor editing capabilities (limited to single-line changes). Some users like to call %edit with ipython, which will invoke your $EDITOR, try %edit? for more info. I personally don't like %edit, and my normal modus operandi is to run Xemacs with my files open, along with an ipython session where I use '%run foo' over and over as I modify the file foo.py. I find this to be a good balance: I get a good editor for the heavy lifting, and in the interactive ipython session I get good tracebacks, %pdb debugging, the ability to inspect objects resulting from my runs, and no expensive reinitialization of the interpreter for each test (this can be a HUGE deal if you are using complex/large libraries like scipy or VTK).
