Not at all. Thank you for the enlightening post.

The only thing I find "ugly" about it is that it doesn't have a white-on-black color scheme.

Oh.

The wonderful thing about computers is the possibility of customizing to taste. The think I do not like about .pdf is the motivation to 'control the user experience'.

Look at any hacker console and you won't find a white screen. Otherwise its fine. Fixing that issue is simple, I can upload my color scheme if anyone wants.

If you want, open an IDLE enhancement issue "IDLE: add alternate high-light schemes", select Componemts: IDLE, and attach your 'Console' scheme. Many skinnable apps either have a place for users to share their custom skins or come with alternatives builtin. There might be other emulation schemes worth adding.
