Hi dandare. I am a dev on Azure Notebooks at Microsoft and can tell you that our team also delivers Python Tools for Visual Studio, Azure SDK for Python, R Tools for Visual Studio, and previously Node.js Tools for Visual Studio. The UX was not done in any way to feel like something else. We tried to design something that worked well for Jupyter users as well as looked nice and was usable. That being said, our teams strengths are not in UX by far. We are starting to work with designers to improve the "dev-UI"" we currently have. If you have any more feedback you would like to share we would love to hear it. There is a public tracker at https://github.com/microsoft/azurenotebooks https://github.com/microsoft/azurenotebooks and an email that goes to the team at nbhelp@microsoft.com
