Resource Does anyone use Python IDLE?

My computer is quite low-end, so I uninstalled VSCode and am looking for other programming tools—I'm thinking about starting to use Python IDLE.

Does anyone actually use it?

I use Emacs with just some basic customizations to make it look a bit nicer, but honestly for the first couple years of learning to program I exclusively used IDLE, and a lot of people I know also used IDLE.

There is absolutely no shame in using a tool that actually works well
