Sure, IDLE is not *useless*, however, it is in fact

This is beneath trolling. Redeem yourself by apologizing.
Apologize for what?
For telling the truth?
I have been using IDLE since around 2006, well at least,
that is as far back as i remember. When i first learned
Python, IDLE was my editor of choice, and i *STILL* use IDLE
to this very day! -- although not as much as i have written
my own IDE.
I have logged thousands upon thousands of hours with IDLE,
how many hours have *YOU* logged?
I would even venture to say, and the comments on this list
have supported my evidence for years, that i may be the
*SOLE* heavy user of IDLE in the *ENTIRE* community.
Although, i need to compare my stats with Terry because he
claims to use the software quite often also.
If *ANYBODY* in this damn community has a *RIGHT* to
complain about IDLE, then *I* am that person. HOW DARE YOU
chastise me for voicing my grievances regarding a
software that *YOU* most likely have *NEVER*, or only
*SLIGHTLY*, used!
Please list for everybody to see the issue numbers that you've worked
on, on IDLE, on the bug tracker. Thank you.
I now routinely use IDLE as it has been so much improved due to the
efforts of Terry & Co. You are conspicious by your absence.
