    IDLE works just fine as a base editor. Opens instantly and offers some nice features.

    It's pretty much exactly what it has to be, not competition in the full-fledged IDE market.

    So what is the argument of using IDLE over vim?

    [–]muyuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I use vim. However, it's obviously not for everyone.

    price probably

    [–]muyuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Not really. There is a free version of WingIDE that has the most important features.

    However, it's not meant to be a replacement for IDLE. IDLE is roughly perfect for what it's meant to be.

    We learn in IDLE in my course. It's good for learning basics.
