I use idle in single-process mode to interactively develop Tkinter code.
The value I find is in how I can try Tkinter commands one-at-a-time and see what happens without building and running a testbed.

I agree that interactive GUI development can be useful. Allowing Tk to work with a subprocess has been fixed in 3.3. See http://bugs.python.org/issue989712 Unfortunately these changes were not backported to 3.2 and 2.7, but they can be added quite simply.

Also, the IdleX extensions project provides the EventLoop.py extension which allows for interactive GUI development with Tk, GTK, Qt, WX, and others. See http://idlex.sourceforge.net/extensions.html
