You bring up RStudio but not the R Notebooks which it supports natively (https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/notebook.html), which IMO is a far-superior way of handling notebooks than Jupyter. (namely, the files are plain text so you can actually commit to Git without fuss)

I wrote a detailed blog post about the differences between Jupyter and R Notebooks years ago: https://minimaxir.com/2017/06/r-notebooks/

You can do the same thing with the jupytext extension. But sometimes it is helpful to have the rendered results in version control, eg internally we use it to discuss data science findings on Gitlab.

Yes, what I meant by Rmarkdown is these notebooks.
