I posted a (very unscientific) poll about who uses IDLE to Reddit's
/r/python and /r/learnpython (a more beginner-oriented forum)
subreddits a while back. Here are their results:
Did you use IDLE when first learning Python or use it currently?
/r/reddit:
87 votes (36%) - Yes, I used IDLE when I started with Python or I use
it currently.
153 votes (64%) - No, I used a different editor when I was starting with Python.
/r/learnpython
99 votes (40%) - Yes, I used IDLE when I started with Python or I use
it currently.
146 votes (60%) - No, I used a different editor when I was starting with Python.

https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/36ilrf/did_you_use_idle_when_first_learning_python_or/
So the good news is that it looks like IDLE still has a very
significant market share of first time Python programmers using it.
Thank you for this. My own feeling is that 10000 users is enough to
motivate me to continue working on Idle, and I can easily believe that
this poll captured less than 1% of Idle users.
