they work for me because of the self documenting interface for reporting. Then theres the built in project workspace that makes it clear which files are doing what. I can run them on a commandline as scripts, and build libraries or even us other notebooks as libraries. This workflow works because my primary job is no developing software. It's developing solutions to solve multimodal industrial and science reporting issues, and as needs change, having a complicated stepping as just a series of code snippets is wonderful. Sure, text is cleaner but I treat much of my work as "living documents" so notebooks do that wonderfully.
