You don't really need a REPL with an IDE, you have excellent auto-complete which shows you the API (which is what I use the Python REPL for) and are unless you're writing pure framework code (or mapping etc - in which case integration testing gives more bang for the buck) then you're probably writing unit tests. I use a continuous test runner for those as the feedback is amazing.

You don't need to say it doesn't matter. Your language has features Python doesn't have, there can be tradeoffs
