I find this odd because I am the opposite - one of my primary use cases for Jupyter/ipython in general is the ease with which I can get 'live' code introspection and intellisense. It's often my prototyping sandbox for python code that I then move into my IDE once it's close to being ready. I also notice that developing in this way encourages me to create smaller, more testable functions that i can easily work with inside a single notebook cell.
