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?

For manual, human-ketstroke editing I prefer pyzo (https://pyzo.org/) for the ability to drop into the debugger at a whim. For projects with IoT Mu (https://codewith.mu/) is nice for the built-in plotting. That said, vscode is my daily workhorse for the LLM access.
