I agree it is more a clash of learning paths/training. I started out-- with ZERO knowledge-- in 2014 just before Jupyter started to be popular, and the more I have used it (as well as VSCode and Pycharm), the more I have found myself thinking "OH MAN-- if I had had THIS when I was learning, I would have learned so much faster with these code/feature discovery tools". Notebooks in particular-- more than IDEs, I think-- are changing the way people learn. if I were teaching someone new today, I'd have them use Jupyter right away, probably not the repl. But I still use the docs a lot too.
