@piko
It's hard to get to the point of knowing what you're doing in #matplotlib, because they obfuscated a very well-structured API with lots of high level methods that keep breaking the API layers all the time.

It's easy to get almost the result you want. And usually it's a complete rebuild from scratch to get from this point to a good result.

If you manage.to get to the point where everything is done with low level methods, tweaking gets quite easy and efficient.

@piko All my figures and graphs for my scientific papers are made by it.
Since I learned how to use svgs as markers ANYTHING becomes a marker.
The scihub crow? ✔️
The #openaccess lock? ✔️
The institues logo? ✔️
500 Smileys in one graph and nobody realizes it? ✔️
Raincloud/violin plots in any color? ✔️

Love it.

[x] Used it in the past and felt really good when I could finally stop using it

(No worries, I found other equally frustrating libraries/frameworks.)

@piko I use it from time to time and I sometimes know what I am doing... But it was hard to get to that point and my memory is blurry.

@skalabyrinth "my memory is blurry" describes my feelings very fittingly :D
