Quite an interesting question recently popped up in pygame community that I'd like to ask to Python developers.

How many of you use IDLE?

I do, sometimes.

What's wrong with it?

AFAICT, nothing.

From my side I like the idea of having default Python editor that is small, fast, convenient and extensible/embeddable. IDLE is small and fast, but I feel really uncomfortable with its. The worst thing - I can't change it.

This I cannot understand. I have changed IDLE many times.

Regards, Martin
