I like marimo and I would probably use it if it weren't for years of muscle memory. That said, I don't like this reproducibility crisis story either. Notebooks are for exploration. It is okay if they are messy. If the tool I am using doesn't get in the way of my process but instead makes it fast enough then it is already doing its job. Once you are done it is up to you to let it die, make sure it is something you can go back and iterate on it, or package it and make it usable elsewhere.
What kind of muscle memory is holding you back? We recently added support for Jupyter-style command mode in keyboard shortcuts [1]. We're currently rewriting our VS Code extension to feel native, similar to how Jupyter feels in VS Code.
Ah that's great to hear. For me it is mostly the command mode. Is it only create / copy / paste for now? Can I also do the same for move / split / delete / undelete?
