Personally I can't stand plotly. The only thing plotly does better is give you a nice interactive tooltip. While I wish matplotlib were better in that regard, it's usually not enough to get me to switch. Off the top of my head, these are the main pain points I have with plotly: - It's slower than molasses in January for anything more than a few hundred data points. It regularly crashes VScode with the jupyter notebook plugin if I try to plot even 10 minutes of 100 hz data. That alone makes it a cheap toy. In gradschool, I was plotting hours of 25 kHz data in matlab with no problems. - It's display mechanism is to show you plots is a web browser. I can't stand that. It's really slow to open a new browser tab for every plot. They don't re-use browser tabs, so after iterating for 10 minutes you have 20 open tabs. - It's basically useless outside of a Jupyter notebook. If you try to use plotly outside of a jupyter notebook and want more than a single plot, good luck. At best you get different plots in different browser tabs, which is useless. Or you end up wasting time creating a web app just to view data. - It's missing really basic functionality, like separate legends for different subplots. - Maybe just personal preference, but I can't stand it's declarative interface. It leads to way more duplicated code and is too inflexible.
