I believe I heard that argument since before jupyter became popular.

Usually it was accompanied by saying that the time needed to write code is often more important than the time it takes to run, which is also often true.

All that said, jupyter is probably part of python's success, although I'm not the only one who actively avoids it and views it as a bit of a code smell.

I love Jupyter! What I don’t love is people writing large projects in a workbook, then asking how to run it as-is in production so they can continue to iterate on it in that form.

It’s not impossible, but neither is it the sort of thing you want to encourage.
