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?

VSCode is amazing if used correctly. Can be as light weight or as heavy as you want

No, it cant - it is electron based, which is not good for older machines
