Call me old-fashioned, but I dislike Jupyter notebooks, or really anything that I can’t easily use with my editor of choice, diffing tools, etc.
Jupyter should just be an editor and execution engine that operates on plain text code, using specially formatted comments to delineate cells. If I want to edit it with vim and execute it using plain old Python I should be able to.

JupyterLab text editor does that by default. ANd I've seen vim plugins for that. Notebook document are _meant_ to keep output as they are design for research and where the records of your results are important, but you also don't have to use ipynbformat with the notebook UI either.
