<div><br></div><div>I believe that, even for people using the Jupyter with other languages (Julia, Haskell, etc), the "--script" option is useful. My group uses the notebook for visualization and the "script" for diffs on github by committing them together*. Having the script updated/saved automatically with the "--script" flag is a big help for our workflow. Converting the notebooks via the command line or using the UI would be regression for our use case. </div>
