A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
It's a lot more like Seaborn. It produces gorgeous plots with a lovely syntax that is quick and easy to use, but it's not a full drawing toolkit like matplotlib.
If I need the plot to have a very precise aesthetic, mpl is great. But if I want a high quality statistical plot that looks great. ggplot2 will do it in about 2 seconds. See also plotnine.
I have no idea how op thinks they could make a decent histogram any quicker than
ggplot(data) + geom_histogram(x= x)
. I mean you don't even have to leave your shell/editor or extract the SQL into CSV.
