I agree that probably working on bash feels more snappy but Jupyter is not that clunky as you mentioned. My laptop is a mediocre one and I can run the Jupyter, navigate to the code and open the editor in total like 3 seconds. In my experience, kernels work just fine unless you are doing something you shouldn't. My kernel problems occur at points where I have a memory issues. Though I agree with you that you don't understand what's wrong once the kernel dies. |

Here's the thing. I'm sure many of the complaints I voiced can be chalked up to lack of experience. But even if it weren't for the issues about documentation and troubleshooting, I'd still have yet another tool to manage, learn to use, learn best practices, etc. Instead of just getting things done with my tool it just gets in the way and tells me there are things I should and shouldn't do. It takes time to learn about it.
And now, I'm not sure the investment is worth the effort. Despite its warts, everyone uses bash and it's really easy to learn about it and translate that knowledge into many applications. And, it does the job when I ask it to. Same for Python, IDE/editor usage, LaTeX, and all the other toys in your typical academia toolbox. I'm all for learning. But time is short, deadlines loom close, and the good enough is often the better's worst enemy. And when it turns out the better isn't actually better, welp.
