Are there some usecases where conventional IDE isn't up to the job as the notebooks? I can imagine this to be so for data analysis where pre-loading heavy datasets saves time. Anything else?

For me its the matter of actually liking The notebook environment rather than overcoming the shortconings of IDEs.

The notebook environment is excellent for data analysis and exploration. It matches my workflow of manhandling data as I reach for understanding.

Once I figure things out of course, either I'm done with the notebook and can copy a few plots out for inclusion in a powerpoint, or I'm done with the notebook and extract a pile of functions into a utility script or package.

Either way, it has served its purpose for rapid prototyping and one-off analysis.
