Working in RMarkdown it is super-easy to generate a publishable document from your research. Whereas there is still no good Jupyter—>PDF solution.

It’s fine if you just want to show something to someone who for whatever reason can’t run the notebook themselves, but it’s not up to producing a “formal” document. Maybe in a few years it might be.

In theory, because you can access LaTeX features from an R Notebook, you could even write an entire manuscript with it, although I don't know if anyone has.
