Chose Python IDLE
I have used Visual Studio Code as well but, I would prefer to use Python IDLE as it helps to debug easily and is user-friendly which ultimately helps to perform the tasks quickly.
Chose Python IDLE
It's easy to set up and run quick analysis in Python IDLE on my local machine. The output is direct and easy to read. But sometimes I prefer Jupyter Notebook when the datasets are large, since it would take too long to run on my local machine. It is easier to run Jupyter …
Chose Python IDLE
Python IDLE is very easy to use compared to PyCharm. So for simple python scripting, Python IDLE is preferable to Pycharm, which has relatively steep learning curve. Compared to Python IDLE, PyCharm is more resource intensive, which may be worth it when comes to large projects, …

IDLE is a good option to run small scripts directly on the console, and that's it. It is a good exit when you don't want or need to open a proper IDE like Pycharm.

Well suited: It is a software that allows to simulate PID controllers is a valuable educational resource. Users can learn how PID controllers maintain the desired value of a process variable, such as temperature, pressure, or flow, by adjusting system inputs in simulation. It is a program that allows to simulate electro-pneumatic systems can be extremely useful to understand the integration of electronic components with pneumatic actuators, valves, and other elements in automated control systems. Less appropiate: The software appears to be resource intensive in terms of storage and execution. This means that it requires a significant amount of hard disk space and good processing power to run efficiently. On computers with limited or older hardware, the software may run slowly or not be able to execute all of its functions. This is an important limitation for users with limited access to high specification equipment.

Support Rating
Python IDLE support is what the community can give you. As it is free software, it does not have support provided by the manufacturer or by third-parties.
In any case, for most of the problems that normal users can find, the solution, or alternatives, can be found quickly online.
As this IDE is made in Python, the support is the same group of Python developers.
