For anyone who might be interested, I have written an application that could be used as an IDE of sorts...
It only works in Windows currently and really only requires that Python 3 is installed... however if you run into issues running the pyboard.py script (missing dependencies), you can probably fix it with...
Here is the main repo... https://github.com/joewez/PyboardFileManager
Here is a copy of the EXE... https://wezensky.no-ip.org/shared/pybfm.zip
No install necessary... all you have to do is unzip it somewhere convenient and run the EXE.
It was originally oriented toward ESP8266 MicroPython development, but I have added support for the Pico so that it can be used as a simpler alternative to Thonny.
