My problem with vanilla jupyter notebook is that they hide every settings from you. Look at those 4:3 ratio dead zones on two sides, who would have thought that you can edit the css or javascript preference to increase your screen real estate? People told me to use extensions but none of them really actually work, including the installation process.

> including the installation process Jupyter has a habit of breaking extensions on version upgrades. jupyterlab 3 -> 4 is a good example of this. Maintainers have to modify their metadata and then run a script. While this is trivial, maintainers have to be aware of the version upgrade, find time to do the upgrade, test, and then deploy. It’s really frustrating being a version behind because of extensions you need.

It's a fair point, but it's hardly unique to Jupyter. In fact, while 99% of websites suffer from this problem, I think it's unfair to highlight it specifically wrt Jupyter. Heck, even the site we're on right now does a poor combination of uncomfortably-long lines AND unused left and right margins.

  99% of websites are not insanely popular development environments. vscode.dev, for example, takes up the full browser width.
