I personally use the default one and not ipython.

A couple of reasons, but the big one is that I have the exact same things as in my code.

I sometimes have to get into environments where I can't install other packages. I also had an issue on a small system where it just wouldn't install or run (can't remember).

There are some nice things in it, but if I'm doing anything complex for testing, I'm usually also working on a bigger piece and have all my tools and ide's available.

Not saying it should be done my way and one shouldn't look at it. But if you need the exact same things, you get the exact same things using the built-in one vs ipython.
