The point is, I didn't think it's such a pressing issue. I haven't seen 
anyone in or outside Python communities making their conclusion about 
Python based on IDLE.

In any case, removing IDLE without a much better replacement is pretty 
much out of the question. If people installed Python in vanilla Windows 
install, they would only have Notepad to edit their code.
