IDLE should be better than it once was, I've done some work for  
Python 2.5 to make it behave more like a true OSX application. It is  
still a long way from being a great application (and not only on  
OSX), but it is quite useable.

As full disclosure: I don't use IDLE very often but am a vi junkie.  
None of the GUI editors have made enough of an impact yet to get me  
to go through the painfull process of rewireing my fingers.
