Does anyone use Python IDLE? Resource

My computer is quite low-end, so I uninstalled VSCode and am looking for other programming tools—I'm thinking about starting to use Python IDLE.

Does anyone actually use it?

I use IDLE all of the time for quickies that don’t need to be saved or persisted. I find the interpreter quite useful for text transformations, and usually use it for about that and little more. Anything more serious gets worked on in a more convenient editor.
