But he didn't - instead, he asked how many of us use it. Usage by committers is not (or shouldn't be) a primary criterion for including or not including something. Instead, usage in the community should be, and python-dev is indeed the wrong place to estimate that. OTOH, the second (or, rather, third) question (does anybody think it should be replaced) is indeed on-topic for python-dev. I didn't really answer that question before, so I do now: I have not personally plans to replace it, and I'm skeptical wrt. anybody else's plans unless there is specific code in existence that IDLE could be replaced *with*.
