We do :-) (some of us, anyway). I'll start another religious
war if I give my opinion on Emacs, so let's leave it there.

I have no problems with my current setup, which is idle installed
under site-packages, and one little dummy script in /usr/local/bin
which invokes idle correctly when you type "idle" on the command
line.  So it can go pretty much anywhere. Incidentally, I do the
same thing on Solaris and IRIX so this isn't "just a Linux" thing...
