nvim-ipy VS oni

In my setup the figures appear as new windows on my other monitor, which works really well. If you want to display the figures inline, you can for example use QtConsole. You would then need another plugin to connect vim and IPython, for example vim-ipython (no support for cells as far as I know) or nvim-ipy (for neovim). Here's an article that describes a setup with the latter: https://www.blog.gambitaccepted.com/2020/04/26/neovim-qtconsole-setup/

There's also nvim-ipy (but I don't use neovim, so I can't recommend it).

Now here comes the endboss: Jupyter. For the first time, I feel like I'm missing out on stuff when using vim. I've started a job in datascience, which is actually awesome. However, I work a lot with image data. I also do a lot of analysis on results, meaning I do a lot of fancy plots that hopefully show the weaknesses of our prediction models. I recently wrote an augmentation algorithm where I had to see the output in form of an image after every step to make sure it's correct. This is not a possible workflow in vim right now. I know of many solutions that I already tried, like for example jupyter-vim or the jupyter vim mode. I'd like to work inside my terminal though. I'm not this kind of purist who needs to have a terminal that is compatible with VT100 or whatever people came up with in the 80ies. I also don't care if my terminal in based on an ascii like grid or actually rendered in HTML. I just want (Neo)vim, with the functionality of jupyter (inline plotting) even if this means vim has to be rendered inside an electron app or whatever people use these days for fancy GUIs. Imagine an electron based editor like Oni which not only runs the "real" neovim in the background, but is also able to do inline figures, images, plots and even interactive stuff. It seems to me like I can't be the only one who wants this. So after all this, here's the question: Is there anything you now of that allows for this kind of stuff? Is there any other workflow that I'm not aware of? Or do people just not use those features when working with vim? Pls help a vimmer stay at vim.

Oni or Oni2

SpaceVim - A community-driven vim distribution

While learning Vim, I went through the `vimtutor` many times until I felt really comfortable. After that you can try more advanced stuff (I applied the same pattern with the oni[0] built-in tutorial). Last but not least there are Youtube channels: theprimeagen[1] and Greg Hurell[2] come to my mind. I particularly recommend theprimeagen (he is a Netflix engineer) because he has videos about real-life workflow. And speaking about real life, I was amazed by this video[3] the first time I saw it, it's a very good introduction to macros.
