emacs-ipython-notebook VS ideavim

I used https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook at one employer and it works quite well for Jupyter. Of course Org is great but if your coworkers are unfamiliar it's probably a non-starter.

Looking at https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook/issues this person seems to be using the github issues tracker as a combination of their personal tech support line + ranting board.

Maybe Emacs should have went down the road to have good Jupyter notebooks support instead, even EIN's maintainer was advising against using notebooks.

So that project was forked and this is the better location https://millejoh.github.io/emacs-ipython-notebook/

Except when it doesn't work. I tried using it a few months ago on both Windows and WSL, but I had to give up. Surprisingly, EIN¹ running a Maxima kernel worked.

I was going to try again before commenting, but I broke my WSL setup last week and didn't have time to fix it yet, but I sure will try it again next month.

EIN also looks good but I haven't used it.

From my perspective when I had to turn ML models from a "real scientist" to something I could use in production, emacs-ipython-notebooks[1] was immensely helpful for me, since it allowed to connect to the jupyter server and edit and copy things from emacs to other code places as if I'm looking at an org mode file.

I see the appeal of Jupyter notebooks for someone testing out things or experimenting, but it's a bit like a brain dump that isn't that trivial to navigate around when a second or third person is involved.

Hey all! I'm quite attracted by the Emacs IPython Notebook (ein) package and would love to incorporate it into my workflow. However last time I tried (about a year and a half ago) it was officially unsupported in spacemacs and my experiments led to constant headaches like undotree failing, notebooks not saving, native compilation crashing, and a reliance on elpy for IDE features (afaik the only elpy layer available can be found here, uses ESS bindings, and seems to be orphaned.)

[this neovim plugin](https://github.com/abecodes/tabout.nvim) helps me get out of double quotes and parenthesis while being in insert mode (I use [ideavim](https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/)). The present implementation of this behaviour in the IDE as [smart keys](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/settings-smart-keys.html) isn't cutting it for me.

IntelliJ with Vim bindings is really good! It is actively supported so patches come often to fix some discrepancies with the original software. It even supports a handful of plugins out of the box.

For partial chest hair, use IdeaVim

The biggest advantage of vim is the movements (key bindings), and there are plugins for many editors for that, e.g. https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim
