I generally find IDLE a very nice editor. It has a few minor flaws that make it a bit more annoying to use than it should be though :
Under windows subprocess crashes IDLE if it has more than one interactive shell open - editing modules without a subprocess is very frustrating !
A lack of horizontal scrollbar
No cut and past in the context menu (selected text disappears when you right click because you've forgotten IDLE doesn't have cut and paste like everything else - doh !)
In windows it is normal to leave the contents of the clipboard when closing an application. Loads of times I've opened IDLE, copied some code I need and closed IDLE again. Gone to paste it into another application *damn* it's vanished from the clipboard....
I've also been having fun trying to bundle IDLE using py2exe. I'll send a separate email about that.
