It seems like a common critique of Python is that there’s choice in which tool to use for a given task (serve web, fast numerical code, and here, visualization). This is ironic given a language that says there should be one obvious way to do it, but perhaps it reflects a diversity of applications, similarly to how enterprise Java seems overengineered until the day that that dependency injection mumbo jumbo allows you to cover a paying use case that would’ve otherwise taken ages. If I want pretty web-ish scatter plots Bokey or Plotly, and if I need desktop GUI visualizations, PyQtGraph, etc. Thankfully there’s no one saying we need a single toolkit for everything (though Matplotlib does try to do this to some extent)
