can you comment on why you wouldn't use it? I am somewhere in the middle of software engineering and (biological) data science. I have seen some jupyter notebooks as companions to genomics software and I enjoyed those presentations. I was considering using it in the future based on that; so, I wanted to hear your thoughts.

As another "software engineer", I can say that we simply don't ever need a tool like Jupyter for our jobs. It's excellent for exploratory programming, research, and publishing -- but it's not really meant for software development.
I kind of missed the point of how notebook are used (and should be) and it seems actually very interesting :) So you should definitely look into it and see if you like doing whatever you do with them!
Yeah, the coolest thing I just found out is that nbconvert can be used to turn your python/matplotlib/markdown to reveal.js presentations.
