Never really liked it nor saw a need for it. I use the Python
interactive console, with GNU readline so I get history preserved and
tab-completion.

Unless those funny looks are accompanied by compelling reasons to invest
a whole lot of effort into learning a rather slow and complex program,
then it seems you can ignore them.
