It's impressive how streamlined matplotlib plotting is and how well it works -- you just import matplotlib and start plotting, you can have multiple interactive plots alongside each other. Especially compared to Jupyter, where it's unfortunately sort of clunky (interactive plots first have to be enabled with %matplotlib notebook, and then you can only have one at a time, you have to manually "freeze" the previous one before you start a new one, or weird stuff -- overplotting -- happens). To be clear, I love Jupyter, and I think it's especially great for teaching beginners (especially because it has "real" cells, as in GUI widgets, though I do get the appeal of a flat plain text format for advanced users). But plotting has been a bit of a stumbling block, whereas the way it works in Iodide blew me away.
