Hum... I do not use Jupyter and co BUT I have my configs and various personal stuff in org-mode/org-bable witch is a kind of notebook and my desktop boot to Emacs, who not retain state but it's still a live environment and it's flexibility and user-programmability with ease are it's strongest points.
So well... Writing in org-mode makes me waste a bit of time but produce much clearer designs because I do not design in code but in natural language and if the narrative is suboptimal is immediately clear, also it proper document the code non with comments but with complete human language. The downside it's that's very time consuming and I do loose some coding helpers that can't work much in babel blocks instead of full source files.
So well, for me such interaction is the most powerful UI we have, the best human-computer interface so far, the default go-to solution for any day-to-day work. A project could be an independent entity but still the day-to-day work born and evolve like that, so I'm not agreeing much, notebooks are not quick&dirty stuff but a tool to reason and reasoning often take much more time than directly write code, if you are disciplined. On contrary might disperse you if you are in "silicon valley mode". This is probably than main point not of the tool, but of the human using it: how many are constantly in Silicon Valley mode vs in Donald Knuth mode?
