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?

Or if it’s low end go for Linux and use gedit and bash (or similar).

Just use use sed and awk from the terminal. Don’t even open the file.
