Individual users do not have control over the latter, so we are stuck with the inadequate default experience I just described above.ģ. This is an issue at my company because we do a lot of work on remote servers that can be accessed only through SSH or JupyterHub. Running a remote kernel is a pain in the ass (cat a config file then manually tunnel 4 ports over SSH), and I can't seem to get it to work on Windows at all. Apart from some useful notebook extensions, there are no viable alternative front ends yet.Ģ. Also I personally hate doing everything in a browser. But it still isn't terribly comfortable to use all day. It's good that there are keyboard shortcuts for doing things like adding cells, and extensions for things like folding cells and adding a table of contents.

It will never be as good as an IDE like RStudio, Spyder, or Pycharm. It will never be as good as my personal text editor configuration.

The default front-end is a weak platform for getting work done. My biggest frustrations with Jupyter are (see #4 for comments on Sweave etc):ġ.
