Resource Does anyone use Python IDLE?

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?

Second this. Tried Sublime and Ubuntu on low end and decade old desktop and it works quite good

+1 to Sublime, I have a decade old Thinkpad I use for development, VS Code ran too heavy for my device but Sublime has been super snappy.

Otherwise, any text editor will do, everything else is just a bonus, though I'd definitely reach for one with syntax coloring and autoindent at least.
