I just like the Jupyter Lab overall IDE-like interface. It's really well designed for general random exploration, and works well with Wil McGugan's "Rich" console output library. On the other hand, it's not really at all well suited for building web application type stuff. It's capable of it (with a whole lotta "hackery" and jumping through hoops) but it's not really built for it the way Marimo is. Marimo just feels like the right choice once you want to build a real repeatable end-usery type application for day to day use on a specific task. The widget set seems really well designed in Marimo too. I'm also really pleased with Marimo's usage of the uv Python package tool as well. I fully intend to keep both Marimo and Jupyter within easy reach, as they're both really excellent at what they do.
