Best tools for Jupyter notebooks
summary
A quick checklist of concrete takeaways and limits: a survey of 18,000 developers finds 28% doing scientific work and 15% naming Jupyter their main tool, JupyterLab runs as a pluggable web UI and JupyterLab with attached console demonstrates kernel sharing, PyCharm converts notebooks to .py and enables debugger with breakpoints and real‑time sync, VS Code shows notebook as sequential .py representation for merges and version control, and Hydrogen executes cells inline in Atom; performance on very large datasets remains uncertain.
