Thanks for sharing that perspective! It was helpful to get that POV. I agree that a requirement for long lived interpreters and a simpler UX to get up and running probably makes it an attractive option.

With VSCode having such excellent remote development capabilities now however, it feels like a nicer option these days but I guess only if you really care about the benefits that brings. Agreed about reimporting libraries still being a major pain point in Python, but the "advantage" for Jupiter Notebooks is also unfortunately what leads to terrible practices and bad engineering as most non-disciplined engineers end up treating it as one giant script for spaghetti code to get the job done.
