I wouldn't bother responding to these sorts of people. They have
already decided that it's impossible to find any sort of decent IDE
for Python (despite pretty much every editor out there having Python
support), are deathly afraid of command lines, and yet feel the need
to join a mailing list to tell us all that. You won't convince them of
anything.
