I imagine those that would be in a position to improve idle don't see
the point of it. IMO, idle was never intended as a production
development editor but more as an extensive example of gui programming
with python. Yes, you _can_ use it to edit, and there are nice python
hooks, but I doubt that anyone with the skills to enhance idle actually
uses idle.

Some of the top core developers teach classes using IDLE as it's the
only tool guaranteed to be available on all the major platforms. You
