My only question about suitability for CS 101 type of audience is that will it be perceived (by those "serious" CS students) more as a toy, given its friendly interface, than a "professional" tool suitable for them - such as Wing 101, or PyCharm Edu. (Don't take me wrong: I really think it would be very suitable - I'm just wondering about the students' impression.)
This is a really *great* point, but it comes with an answer! If you have enough knowledge to ask "Why doesn't Mu do X?" then you shouldn't be using Mu. ;-) It's time to graduate to a "professional" editor.
Mu concentrates very hard on making that gap between sitting still and walking (in code terms) as easy to navigate as possible. It's the editor equivalent of toddling. ;-)
So, for those CS101 students who already know Emacs, Atom or whatever, then Mu is definitely *not* for them, they should use what they're comfortable using.
If you're interested I talk about this in my presentation from PyCon 2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5IAf5vGGSk Happy to answer any questions, and as always feedback is most welcome.
