I like that it is a standalone notepad.exe-like program that opens my notebook and just works. I usually use it more for looking at notebooks than writing them tho.
It's convenient to directly open a notebook from a browser download or a slack message without having to fire up jupyter in a terminal and navigate it to that temp file.
I use vscode to open and run notebooks using the jupyter plugin. Works great. Don’t need to fire up the browser
Vscode is now my go-to for opening and running notebooks. The issue I had with the normal jupyter was it it's support for normal python files were bad. With vscode I can work on both normal python files and notebook files in the same window without much overhead
Yeah, that's exactly the same reasoning. Because it's more convenient you run your notebooks in a dedicated tool. Nteract or Vscode or Pycharm..
Pycharm is also excellent at this. My biggest problem with the normal jupyter interface is years of reflex that Ctrl+w is for deleting words. Quite annoying in a web browser.
