We currently use Plotly quite a bit where I work for a customer facing website with a wide variety of charts. Does anyone know what some of the tangible benefit

  Thanks for sharing Plotly. I'd recommend pointing out the Plotly features you'd like to improve and seeing if the Muze team has solutions/improvements.

  Depends on your use case. Can you share any pointers where - you feel you had hard time achieving with Plotly? - a feature you wanted is not supported by Plotly?

  Having only browsed both Plotly and this project, this is my understanding: Plotly seems like its just the charting/graphing layer. A common use case (and increasingly an expectation) is that a series of graphs on a single page be responsive and cross filterable. For instance, if you click on a single element on one chart, it should filter the related charts accordingly. Additionally, these filters should build on each other and the developer/analyst should be able to define that. Really, you're now doing a form of data modelling and in the domain of BI, and Plotly isn't going to help you figure any of this out. Tableau and Power BI have gotten traction by building products that not only include but prioritize this form of modelling. Once you define your data model, you get the multi dimensional charting for free. The appeal to me of this library (not having done a thorough G2) is an open source alternative to those products that integrates charts and data modelling easily.
