If it is not too much trouble to maintain, I vote for keeping it. I 
personally use it frequently as I write a lot of droplets.

I realize there are other ways to create them, but consider:
- Folks who are building applets may not be sure what to do with the 
command line. Having a droplet saves explaining it.
- It's an obvious paradigm. Use a droplet to create a droplet.
- I confess I don't personally use the IDE. Partly this is because I 
do a lot of Tkinter programming (in addition to droplet programming), 
which it doesn't support. Partly it's because I'm quite fond of 
Pepper.
