My question is, when IDLE is run without arguments (as is the case for 
IDLE.app), what is the benefit opening an empty editor window as opposed to a 
shell window?

In both cases if you just want to edit a file you must open it via the menus 
(e.g. File->Open or File->Recent Files), and an unused window is left open. On 
the other hand, if you do want a shell, having an empty editor window is 
useless. Therefore I think in this case it is always better to open a shell 
window.
