I *do *like matlab-like IDE provided that its interface, font, color and so on are clean and aesthetic. However, they are only used as development tools. They could not be used in a presentation like Notebook could. LightTable is something between the two: it is more presentable than the matlab-like IDE, and easier to program than Notebook. However, it doesn't support markdown or LaTeX.
There is also another approach: knitr, designed by Yihui Xie, which is referred as literate programming by him.
