I use PyCharm's Juypter plugin and it's seemed far better for me. I work in Python everyday but I'm more on the data engineering and app security/architecture side of things than straight up Data Science. I don't use notebook's as often as I'd like but I live in PyCharm.

Sure. VSCode with python and Jupyter extensions

Is VSCode's Jupyter extension much better than PyCharm's? Just curious, I prefer PyCharm over VSCode for normal python dev work. By a lot but I get it's personal preference, so I'm curious.

can't compare with charm, but a lot better than web, I believe

I tried this for the first time the other day and it was a great experience. Ironically the most cumbersome part continues to be Python environment management. I'll spare you my usual rant about that, but hopefully by Python 4 they'll find a solution.

What difference does this make, though? Isn't VSCode an Electron app? All of its UI is based on web stuff, anyway!

I assume that at least the browser shortcuts are out of the way ?

QtConsole is actively maintained. I don't use it but I do like it a lot.

nbterm [0] was recently released. You can also use Jupyter as a command line interface through Jupyter Console.

It's "ugh" in the Jupyter world too.

A good quality standalone "notebook editor" would be an incredible tool. Nteract exists, but is not "good".
