Bugs in libraries and code that overpromises are maddening (and too common), but I think it's different.
You can get the data out of an HDF5 file with
using HDF5
c = h5open(filename, "r") do file
read(file, "data")
end
And you're done. You're not somehow locked into plotting data with the Plotly backend, but not GR. You know exactly where the data came and can trivially point it somewhere else with some 'magic' breaking.

- mattkrause 7y agoRight, but that's a bug. It's annoying it isn't fixed and working around it is undoubtedly annoying. This seems different from a system where there's lots of complexity in just choosing what frameworks to start with and if/how they play well together, and all of that rapidly changing over time. (I'd bet, for example, that many of those examples used to work).
