The one place matplotlib sucks is any kind of interactivity. But other than that, matplotlib has the best, most intuitive interface of all the python plotting libraries I've tried. It's also one of the few libraries that doesn't rely on generating html for a webbrowser, which makes for a miserable workflow.
I still think Matlab's plotting is untouched by open source options.

- cinntaile 5y agoMatplotlib hides a lot of complexity if you ask me. As soon as you do something in a different way than intended you're off searching stackoverflow for a post that did something similar to what you want. Then you tweak it a little and hope it works.
