I use a different editor (in my case vim) because it has a lot of 
advanced editing features (regular expression searching and replacing, 
filtering ranges of text through commands, and a list of scores of other 
things) that don't exist in the simpler editors built into most IDEs 
like Pywin or IDLE.
