I must have not missed something..

Isn't PythonWin using scintilla?

I prefer PythonWin to IDLE most of the time.

+++++ object.lookup command line completion pop up menu [YES!!]
+++ easy to add new mdules to the PYTHONPATH [which I still do not really
understand on win32]
++ nice color and formatting control
++ expand/contract code sections using 'Folding' option [free man's
Mathematica-style notebook]
+ visible indentation guides [see View Menu]
+ configurable 'Tools' Menu
+ zoomable display CTRL + mousewheel

+ some Python modules that won't run under IDLE do under PythonWin
