Thanks! I completely agree with you on making the analysis reproducible. IPython Notebook is a wonderful tool, and I use it a lot myself. (You can even run shell commands from IPython.) However, using the command-line doesn't necessarily mean that the analysis will be difficult to follow or maintain. On the contrary, because you're making use of existing tools (and perhaps even create new ones), you are processing data on a higher level, which can actually make it easier to read and maintain.
