GNU plot syntax somehow feels less discoverable, less intuitive, one constantly needs to be looking at the docs while doing it, was my experience.

- leephillips 6y agoI can’t really disagree. It takes a while to come to grips with its concepts and language for settings. But basic plotting is concise and intuitive. I was mainly commenting on its configurability. Gnuplot lets you (once you figure out how) control everything; for example, the exact shape of the arrowheads in a vector plot. (The name is “gnuplot”; it’s not a GNU project.)
