Thanks for the URL.

I consider myself a reasonably seasoned IDE user, having used Visual Studio, 
emacs with SLIME, Borland C++Builder, Xcode, Delphi, Eclipse, LightTable and 
PyCharm, and probably I forgot some.

However, I still use IDLE regularly on Windows and Unix systems (not on OSX). I 
don't care much about advanced IDE features. Basically I want a programmers' 
text editor with minimal syntax highlighting and a shortcut key like F9 or 
CMD+R to run my program. When developing webapps, I rely on the 'save' function 
of the editor and having the web framework reload the sources automatically 
while in developer mode.  For debugging, I use Python's 'pdb' or the more 
fancier 'pudb' where appropriate.

I really like to see IDLE stay as part of the Python installation. And I'm 
sure, with all the attention it gets nowadays, that it'll stay a minimal but 
usable basic IDE for developing Python programs.

Greetings,
