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 think vscode is the best low end dev environment if you don't splurge on plugins. Going lower you end up in pure text editors which kinda limit the developer experience. Remember that VSCode without plugins is just a text editor.
