Re: Jupyter Notebook 7
#2My 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.

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.

#4> 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).

Good thing they are using one side to put a debugger in (shown in the screenshot)

#6I really like notebooks and often end up preferring them over lab.
But even though VS code has poor support for notebook shortcuts (half the time a cell is in focus “the wrong way” so you can’t use ‘b’ to create a new cell) I find the convenience of just clicking a notebook file and see it rendered too much.
Regardless I am happy to see they have revived the project and am eager to check out the new release!

Strongly agree.

Notebook classic for me. Vim keystrokes + Black plugin for formatting. I hate JupyterLab, have tried it multiple times. Have tried VSCode and PyCharm’s notebooks (I use PyCharm for actual development). I always go back to Classic as it just feels right.

The couple of times I experimented with jupyter ecosystem, it was only through labs. I thought notebook is the barebones app and labs is the more integrated ide like approach. But still for some reason didn't stick with it.
Would you mind sharing the areas where you feel lab falls short and where notebook does it better?
I want to give notebooks a try.

I've long switched to Emacs/Org, but used JupyterLab extensively before (as a data scientist).
It's way more powerful than vanilla notebooks since you can open notebooks/code/related side-by-side, easier to extend (with lab extensions), etc.
I always thought people only still used vanilla notebooks because that's what people say they use, e.g. "I work with Jupyter notebooks" (even though that may well be in JupyterLab). So most regular users wouldn't necessarily know about JupyterLab.
