User Testimonials
Jupyter NotebookPlotly Dash
Likelihood to Recommend
I would rate it 9/10 while recommending Jupyter Notebook as it offers me a wide range of functionality to operate. It is very well suited for someone who is new to python programming as the user interface helps you build code line by line. I personally have written multiple programs in Python using Jupyter Notebook as it helps me organize long code by breaking it in a structure. Also the ability to write comments using '#' helps a lot to a reader understand the code.

Plotly Dash suits well where you need to build a web-based reporting tool as a minimum viable product. You will be surprised when you build your first hosted web-based reporting tool in a few minutes without the need for web development expertise. However, when it comes to building a more complete solution, you may feel a bit restricted by the options provided by the API. But as you imagine, this is the cost of the abstraction of the web development layer, in other words, simplicity vs completeness. Still, Plotly Dash is a powerful option whenever you prefer simplicity over completeness.

Cons
  • Need more Hotkeys for creating a beautiful notebook. Sometimes we need to download other plugins which messes [with] its default settings.
  • Not as powerful as IDE, which sometimes makes [the] job difficult and allows duplicate code as it get confusing when the number of lines increases. Need a feature where [an] error comes if duplicate code is found or [if a] developer tries the same function name.

Usability
Jupyter is highly simplistic. It took me about 5 mins to install and create my first "hello world" without having to look for help. The UI has minimalist options and is quite intuitive for anyone to become a pro in no time. The lightweight nature makes it even more likeable.

Alternatives Considered
Jupyter Notebook is unique in that it offers a flexible, lightweight, easy-to-replicate way of organizing your code in a visually intuitive fashion that can be exported in a number of formats. I've found that the broad functionalities available within the notebooks suit a lot of needs I have for EDA, modeling, and data export that makes other software products fairly redundant.
