Just wait 5 years. I was a heavy matplotlib user and before that used a primitive tool for plotting in C. It actually performed so much better than matplotlib.

I was a heavy matplotlib user and before that used a primitive tool for plotting in C. It actually performed so much better than matplotlib.
If working on those one or two figures for hours for a publication is what you’re aiming for, sure matplotlib is still useful for that (I did that during my PhD and postdoc days, sure it’s interesting). But I think that’s where the problem is. We have too many people stuck on an old tool because that’s all they know. I’m watching lectures and courses every morning before work and keeping up to date. It’s helped me get exponentially ahead.
I think we need to encourage this mentality. This current post was about showing how to understand data. I guarantee you that if you learn to use bokeh the right way you’ll have significantly faster iteration times. Also, in industry where things are extremely fast paced, you need to move and present your information fast.
Again, my disappointment is that we need to encourage a mentality of flexible learners, and I find this post a regression. I’m a bit disappointed at the unpopularity of this comment, but maybe that’s why I’ve moved up to earn an enormous salary.
