Its a bit of nostalgia for me. It took a bit of work to understand ipython when I first started as a programmer, but that effort helped me in the long run. Using ipdb for breakpoints was a game changer in my first job.

And it also was a good way to get comfortable with using terminal.

Using notebooks removes all these learnings. I dislike it because it makes for less confident programmers in the long run.
