I thought Jupyter Notebook has been superseded by Jupyter Lab. What reason is there to prefer Jupyter Notebook over Jupyter Lab?

#62I have never understood the appeal of this. You can generate good looking presentations, but that is all. Is any real science done with this or is it the Powerpoint for PyCon talks?
Co-locating code and outputs is handy.

#63Man Open Source software should not post announcements like this using a blogging platform that nags you to pay to view posts. Like it's possible to dismiss the prompt and view the post (for now at least) but something about that definitely feels off.
100% agreed. I can't stand Medium. Much <3 to the Jupyter team. Github pages + Jekyll is performant!
Oh I really like Jupyter too. I don't want them to have a bunch of extra overhead or to roll their own blogging engine or anything - though I have experimented with Jupyter notebooks for writing simple technical blogs and it's actually pretty nice.

For me, less distracting and confusing visual clutter on the screen. Also, the pane showing the file hierarchy is redundant with the file explorer that the OS already provides. But either way, not having to use an IDE is a blessing. Especially on a 14" touch screen laptop.
Note that I'm probably a freak, lots of my friends love their IDE's, but having having something that works for my particular brain and my eyeballs is a blessing.

So far, Jupyter has been the tool that gives me the best chance of coming back a week or a year later and figuring out what I did. Also, doing "restart kernel and run all cells" before going home for the day is a great reassurance that something is likely to be reproducible.

#66> Both Jupyter Notebook and JupyterLab are widely used across data science, machine learning, computational research, and education. Are they though? Does anyone actually use JupyterLab by choice? From what I've seen people love Jupyter Notebook but find JupyterLab misses the mark (and this is certainly my experience).
I vastly prefer lab to notebook. My impression is that lab is just notebook with slimmer margins tabs, overall better UI, what am I missing?
Re: Jupyter Notebook 7
#67I thought Notebook is getting deprecated. What is the difference between Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Notebook ? Are these developed by two completely different teams? Why maintain two code bases?
The point here is that they've unified the codebases. The application "Jupyter Notebook" is just a single-document version of "JupyterLab", designed to just do that one part of Lab. Previously there was "Jupyter Notebook". Then they separately wrote JupyterLab (creating a brand new implementation of notebooks for it). Now, they're taken the JupyterLab notebook code and used it to replace "Jupyter Notebook".
Does it mean that RISE https://rise.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ will break?
I use it sometimes to turn a notebook into a presentation and it doesn’t work with Jupyter Labs
Re: Jupyter Notebook 7
#68Used to like notebooks but it becomes messy if not checked. I think they are good for some use cases such as short analysis.
Switched back to file and folder organization along with Make file. Tedious yes but prevents me from messing my analysis from ad-hoc variables or calculation.
Having said that, notebooks are good way to experiment.

Good for developing ideas that you can add small code fragments gradually and see results immediately. And if it gets big enough, chances are that you have a good idea that makes it worth the time to refactor your notebook into production code.
