I can't justify it - it's pure preference and opinion, irrationally held. A big part of it is probably that type of programming I generally need to do is closer to using an overgrown calculator (with DataFrames) than doing proper Software Development to build a thing.

I much prefer having the code over _here_, and then having the results in a separate pane over _there_. Jupyter style mixing of inputs and outputs tends to confuse me, and in my hands gets very messy very quickly.

The slides in this light hearted talk from JupyterCon in 2018 probably give a better explanation than I could.
