From a user perspective, I found Scientific Notebook to be more hassle than
it was worth. Especially when importing graphics or using step functions.

At Fresno City College we chose Maple over Mathematic a bunch of years ago
because the Maple folks were more education-friendly, and Maple was less
expensive. Maple's attitude was "Whatever we can do to help. Sure, we'll
share our algorithms, and whatever." Mathematica's was "We're here. We're
used in the workplace. Take us or leave us. Our algorithms? A trade
secret."
I now prefer Scientific Notebook, which uses a Maple engine, but without
the
context. Importing art into it is a headache, if you are trying to do cool
documents. But my students have not found any areas in which it is
inadequate for their needs.
