You're partially right. But I would like to mention that in many ways, their way is the "standard" way to do things. Just as an example, the "crazy web tool called notebooks" is pretty much the standard way of working in many different areas of machine learning/deep learning (and others). It doesn't mean you necessarily have to do it yourself, but tons of material out there will be in this format, so it's valuable in and of itself to know it. Also, you really should give notebooks a chance, they're a game-changer for productivity, IMO. (Although I'm a vim user, not emacs, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me ;).
