Org-mode is superior to Jupyter notebooks
- tags
- Workflow
(for me, and probably for you too if you’re reading this!)
It is superior #
- We can get the same functionalities (besides widget) with the appropriate configuration
- I am in a real text editor
- I can connect to kernel in a REPL and explore its state
- I can copy code from other places on my HD
- I have access to my emails
- Easier to navigate within the document itself. I typically use a single org file when I would have needed several jupyter notebooks;
- Export in other formats is easy and highly customizable.
- I can combine several languages in the same document (mainly shell and sqlite)
- You can version control your org files!
But not perfect #
- Few people know and want to learn emacs which has a steep learning curve; working with others can be a challenge;
- The figures are not saved with the document (reason why they play nice with version control), but we can easily export the org document to pdf for review.
