In general, it seems that most experienced developers either want a full featured IDE like Eclipse or PyCharm, or they want something simpler in which case they go with a text editor like Vim or Sublime Text. Idle can't (and shouldn't) compete with either of those categories.
I agree. Idle fills a niche in between those categories -- a simple python-only ide. On Windows at least, it is also a replacement for the wretched interactive console.
