Hi, Tim, Python's online IDEs are a mixed bunch all right. Cloud 9 <https://c9.io> hosts a pretty professional-looking environment.
For people learning Python I highly recommend Trinket <https://trinket.io>, not least of all because it's the only one I've found so far on which you can use Python's "turtle" module, my teaching tool of choice. Being able to use turtles and Visual Python make creating 2D and 3D graphics pretty easy. You can also embed the "trinkets" into a webpage, as I've done on mine: http://www.farrellpolymath.com/code Hope this helps!
