I mean, stays out of the way for simple uses. When I first learned Python, typing python and seeing >>> and having it evaluate what I typed as if it appeared in a file was a good experience. Now that I use python a lot, ipython is more out of the way to me than the built-in python repl is, because it lets me focus on what I'm working on, than limitations of a tool.
