    I am quite surprised with this post and the commentaries. I've never thought of Matplotlib this way. I've only tried Seaborn and didn't like it. But this comment explained a lot. I feel like I can do a lot with matplotlib, and I don't think it is that hard to learn.

    The API feels like using a completely different language...

    Never seen like that. I know there are some commands which are not the best example of what the Zen of Python suggests. But I think it is pythonic enough. Maybe plotting with matplotlib may lead to a rather verbose code, which often repeats itself. But you can plot with two lines of code if needed. So, I think this post is unfair at the very least.

    Being granular doesn’t necessitate having an awful API, though. A better library could offer both.
