I’m a long term Matlab user and I’ve been using Matplotlib more and more recently. This is partially out of frustration with recent changes to Matlab graphics and also a desire to use more open source tools. Matlab plotting is extremely powerful and versatile. Sometimes the output could be nicer but the interactive figure hierarchy is great. Matplotlib on the other hand is, at least to me, a lot more clunky to work with. But it gets the job done and the output often looks nicer and solves my gripes with Matlab.
