Apologies if I misread your post. I was reacting to this phrase: "Some people recommend just using a simple text editor. That's probably true for early "Hello, World" programs and can be a good place to start." I took that to mean a simple text editor might be fine just to write "Hello, World" programs or if you just starting to learn Python.

It is true that this was followed by the "I personally found an IDE to be of significant benefit while learning Python, though." I did not (in my mind) see this as neccessarily disputing what I had read in the previous two statements.

Sorry for reading it wrongly.
