Very happy to see Grafana adopt this plugin to continue it's development among all the various other data sources grafana can plugin in to. I'm happy to bring Grafana and it's stack to the work place and developers are very happy using it with their OpenTelemetry integrations. Their only complaint is that some of the settings for panels can be difficult to find. My own wish is that I hope something like this https://github.com/knightss27/grafana-network-weathermap https://github.com/knightss27/grafana-network-weathermap is adopted too. I know it maybe possible using Canvas but Canvas is too much of a blank slate and needs a lot of work to set it up the same way.

I really hope grafana adopts a code-based back end so I'm not having to fiddle around with settings in the UI, which are very very very very terrible

  Perhaps you can have a go with jsonnet. https://github.com/grafana/grafonnet https://github.com/grafana/grafonnet it's not perfect but I believe there's some progress towards dashboards as code.

  it's coming, and high prio. stay tuned for "as code" updates in the next 6mo. making this experience good (e.g. composable dashboards) required some fundamental schema changes that were difficult to do until recently. a lot of this re-schematization is happening as "v2" work, e.g. https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/98408 https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/98408
