> Any lightweight markup format (like Markdown or ReStructuredText or whatever) allows for embedding code blocks, but Org, through Babel, can run that code on export, and then display the output in the published document, even when the output is a table or an image.

This is what I love about blogging with Quarto.

On their website Quarto look just like normal JupyterLab notebook interface. Does it do anything extra?

One advantage of org-babel is, that one can not only to segmented code execution, but one can specify the dependencies of source blocks and thus doesn't have to run them top to bottom or choose how to run them manually. One simply includes blocks by their name in other blocks and everything will run in the specified order. It shouldn't be too hard to build that into IPython Notebooks, but somehow no one has properly done that yet, or it completely bypassed me, while I still worked with ipynbs for years.
