Agreed, my personal gripe has always been that notebooks encourage people to write code with _no_ functions or abstraction, often leading to 400 lines of gobbledygook with bad variable names that somehow gives you F1 scores and graphs at the end. You can write functions in notebooks (and I do when I write mine), but there is not a culture of this in place, and arguably the notebook interface itself encourages you _not_ to write functions.
