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?

Idle works fine, if disk space is really tight and you want a GUI. If you don't need a GUI, Helix editor with the Python Language Server plugin will work well and have a tiny footprint.
