I mean, my only other more general comment about the notebook concept (not just Jupyter) is that there were a number of tools in the 90s with a similar interface called "the worksheet" and this interface was completely abandoned for pretty much the reasons I describe.

I think this is wildly unfair... jup met and meets many of my needs for interactive data analysis that were unmet in the 90s, when I was also doing research ;). Most alternatives were closed, none were web based, etc etc. I’m sure there are better things possible, of course.

And when you combine with the ecosystem level stuff, including JupyterHub and Binder, I don’t see alternatives... the expansion to JupyterLab (and other alternative frontends) shows that this is a platform approach that works.

Time will tell if that is a good thing. So often the first product that "worked" then became successful and later an obstacle to progress.

yes, agreed that this is a challenge. OTOH I do have to get work done in the meantime.

Me too! But I think we should spend more effort than we do on making tools fundamentally better, as opposed to just adding features to whatever "works".

And the first is to admit that we don't know what's best. Anti-hype attitude.

I think it's very tricky. And I don't think anybody in this thread has promoted hype directly at all.

No. But lots of others do, and that's part of the problem. As is the related phenomenon of the enthusiasm bubble.
