This came up during today's final PyCon keynote -- IDLE was called out as one of the two editors not to use when live-coding on Adafruit's Circuit Playground Express (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3333). I think that the problem referred to is that IDLE doesn't guarantee that the bits are actually flushed to disk -- they may linger in the OS filesystem cache.
