Are there some usecases where conventional IDE isn't up to the job as the notebooks? I can imagine this to be so for data analysis where pre-loading heavy datasets saves time. Anything else?

- Espressosaurus 3y agoThe notebook environment is excellent for data analysis and exploration. It matches my workflow of manhandling data as I reach for understanding. Once I figure things out of course, either I'm done with the notebook and can copy a few plots out for inclusion in a powerpoint, or I'm done with the notebook and extract a pile of functions into a utility script or package. Either way, it has served its purpose for rapid prototyping and one-off analysis.
