Sidenote: I like Altair and think it's a good development, despite rendering being performed client side.
This said, the claim here is tiring when it's used everywhere. Having spent significant time with Altair, I'd argue it might have tighter code but the documentation can be obscure. I haven't found it to make things easier from a developer perspective, but rather it does solve the use case that you are working in Python and need to have the client render a figure without callbacks (things like raw html dumps and similar).
- joelostblom 3y agoFeel free to open an issue to let us know which parts of the documentation you find obscure and if you have suggestions for how to improve them. We did a larger overhaul a few months back and are always open to feedback on how to improve it further! https://altair-viz.github.io/ https://altair-viz.github.io/ (disclaimer: I'm a co-maintainer of Altair)
