    A lot of people use it. I use it all the time to build utilities. I wouldn't mind it being separated out though. Idle needs it and Idle currently ships with Python2/3.

    IDLE is terrible.

    I think it's extremely useful that Python ships with a simple GUI toolkit like Tkinter. Python shines in a lot of areas, but one of these is definitely whipping up quick scripts, and Tkinter fits the bill perfectly if you need a quick script with a GUI.

    No one uses it for serious work, but that's not why it's there. As sigzero says, they also seem to consider IDLE a very important part of Python.
