There's lots of times when I have a cool programming idea, and find when I sit down at the computer that I can implement the main points of the idea and get a neat demo running rather quickly. That creates a very happy, liberating feeling, plus gives me something to show off to friends or co-workers. But turning it into a finished product with no rough edges is an order of magnitude more work. It seems to me that IDLE and a lot of the rest of Python are examples of someone having a cool idea and writing a demo, then releasing it with a lot of missing components and rough edges, without realizing that it can't reasonably be called complete without a lot more work.
