I very heavily rely on the "official" notebook extensions from https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensi... This especially includes things like "Table of Contents", "Variable Inspector", "Ruler", and "Execute Time". How easy will it be to have all of this functionality in the JupyterLab notebooks? There's certainly advantages to having data/terminals/notebooks in an IDE-style layout, but for the moment it would still be two steps back, one step forward for me personally. This is to disparage the effort, JupyterLab clearly is the future!

First of all these are not "official" (hence why it's a different organisation on GitHub) and all is maintained by community. It will take some time to port all the existing extensions, but the good news is that JupyterLab has been thought to work with extensions (actually everything in JupyterLab is an extension with no privileged component), so it will be easier to write these for JupyterLab than for current notebook. The documentation on writing extension is also way better than for Classic notebook, and we had new contributor writing extension in 2 to 3 hours. So we encourage you to try and send us feedback !

  Will do! And thanks for all the great work around the Jupyter ecosystem. I didn't mean to come across as too critical!

    Didn't meant to imply you were critical, sorry if it's how I expressed myself. Just trying to explain what did not ended in the blog post. Thanks!
