Looks very interesting. Could you elaborate on why you prefer this over the .ipynb notebook interface built into VS Code? The doc you linked mentions debugging, but I have found that the VS Code debugger is already fairly well-integrated into .ipynb notebooks. Is it mainly the improved diffing and having a REPL?

my impetus for exploring it was that vim modal editing and keyboard navigation is just really clunky in the notebook integration.

whether or not it's better for you depends on your use case for notebooks — i use them mostly for prototyping and exploratory data analysis so separating the code from the output might be more convenient for me than for you
