Minimize dependencies

[Zethson]

Description of feature

There's a number of dependencies that we're currently using that I'd be happy if we were to remove them:

• ipywidgets
• plotnine

We need to do the following for every dependency

• Check where we're using it in the code
• Remove the dependency
• Rewrite the code with an alternative implementation using more fundamental dependencies. For example, when removing plotnine, we want to use matplotlib and seaborn
• Create a PR
