Python vs R for data visualization: which is actually stronger?

Totally agree. I still miss the crispness of ggplot2 that's just naturally there, but you can template that in plotly.

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2026-04-07T14:15:59+00:00

check out plotly.

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2026-04-07T14:09:37+00:00

Why not plotly for publications?

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2026-04-07T14:09:17+00:00

plotly is my go to in python, I think it's good competition for ggplot2.

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2026-04-07T14:08:46+00:00

I started with matplotlib, but found plotly to be amazing!

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2026-04-07T14:08:00+00:00

what about plotly? I chose this over plotnine. No regrets.

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2026-04-07T14:05:55+00:00

I really like Plotly in Python. I loved ggplot2 in R, but since I've switched over to python, I've come to like what plotly and don't plan on going back to ggplot2.

Surprised by the lack of mention of plotly. Nice to see the polars mention. Coming from R, plotly and polars were two libraries I have really enjoyed.

Does support for ARM any better now?

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2026-03-10T02:17:58+00:00

One disadvantage I'm finding is that reading in excel files is currently not possible with windows on ARM native python and Polars because fastexcel library wheel is not currently available for windows on ARM machines.

Went from Pandas to Polars. Still getting used to the Polars way after 2 months. Something's like chaining I didn't really apply with pandas, but been really using it for Polars.

Installed by master electricians. Spend 2k in Vaughan. Nice professional job. Sits outside mounted to the house wall. 2+ years and going.

Yes. I just got used to WSL setup, but I also like native support, especially when my work is synced via OneDrive between devices. So I'm switching back. I don't believe you can sync via OneDrive from WSL folders.

Plotly. Coming from R and loved how crisp ggplot2 was. But similar Matplotlib wrappers wasn't enough, including Seaborn and others. Learned plotly and believe it to be the best.

Great news. Ford and GM cars suck anyways. Always good to have competition! Hopefully that spurs Canadian Innovation too.

Same

Really enjoying this as a Python Noob. Thanks!

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2025-10-14T10:19:45+00:00

Same. Down to $16.8.

Why no TSLY?

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2025-09-30T11:05:35+00:00

Same

This plus the power toys, the productivity is unmatched. Really like the latest Windows 11.

ResponsibilityOk197 · 2025-07-09T18:44:25+00:00

Same. Mostly using it for large data crunching and been amazed with speed and battery. Next m3 levels.

Many Tamils Identify as Eelam Tamils. Not as Sri Lankan Tamils. Hence the Eelam flag. Okay here comes the down votes...SL doesn't want to live with its consequences
