We have that, too. It’s called Jupyter <https://jupyter.org/>.

 
Not user-friendly enough.

 
If by “user-friendly” you mean “aimed at those accustomed to Microsoft
mediocrity”, then you’d be right.

 
I mean if presented to someone for the first time do they have a
fighting chance of creating *anything*. With jupyter that's a big fat
nope.

Which is why it’s so good you can use existing notebooks as a starting
point. A notebook is not just something to look at, it’s something you can
interact with.

Here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i40d8-Hu4vM> is an example of what
can be done with Jupyter, for use by totally non-techy, quality-demanding,
paying-customer types.
