And yet, I find that all of the Python scripts that I develop to do tasks in the Windows environment at my office work just fine in Windows (duh). Python may be cross platform, but I bet the majority of the code written in Python is only run in a single environment, or even a single machine. So if I run it in Windows, and develop it in Windows, why do I care that my IDE only runs in Windows?

I just posted that comment because I thought the way Regebro dismissed PyScripter in a blog post was funny (and that he would probably say the same thing about Microsoft's new Python IDE).
