MayaVi. So. Many. Bugs. And dependencies — pretty sure it never installs correctly without manually installing seventeen other packages (specific versions too). Even downloading the Enthought Canopy Suite isn't enough for it to work correctly on the first try. Also, strange rendering issues appear where the depth is out of order for density plots. And then as soon as a new version is released, the whole thing breaks and I have to "compatibility search" all the packages again.
Unfortunately, I can't find a good, scriptable alternative. I've heavily been considering writing my own 3D plotting library, because I honestly think it would be faster than installing MayaVi again.
