I tried VS Code notebooks on Windows again this week and went back to the webapp within 2 days. The simplest things -- like ability to copy a cell's output to the system clipboard -- didn't work, with multiple outstanding / unresolved issues on GitHub. Lots of problems with pandas plots / pyplot.
I'm surprised to see it recommended on HN, it still felt "alpha" to me.
I use it a lot, and a big advantage is how configurable it is compared to other options. You can change practically everything in Settings. So you can customize it in the way you prefer.
