For Windows, it's easier to start IDLE than it is to start python from a command line, and the editor is better. It's still terrible, but at least it's better.

I am pretty sure the Windows Python installer adds Python to your path. On my system, at any rate, starting Python on the command line consists of typing "python" and pressing enter. How can it get any easier? That said, starting IDLE is easier, because hitting Winkey + py + enter opens IDLE whereas there's the extra step of opening the terminal if I want to use it on the command line.
