I use literate programming for "research" projects - I use emacs org mode with org babel and ob-ipython. It is useful for that purpose, as I am usually chasing a few options in parallel and results later will need to be presented to the team. When project wasn't that researchy in the first place (does not require significant experimentation to come up with the solution), or exits the research phase I move to standard programming tools.
