I don&#x27;t have a lot of experience with either, but I was close to really digging in and learning R just for the ease of use of ggplot.<p>I tried the ggplot for python (ggplot.yhathq.com&#x2F;) but eventually settled for seaborn (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stanford.edu&#x2F;~mwaskom&#x2F;software&#x2F;seaborn&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stanford.edu&#x2F;~mwaskom&#x2F;software&#x2F;seaborn&#x2F;</a>). It is really quite easy to get most of the common plots that I wanted and hasn&#x27;t let me down yet. The standard plots look SO much better than the standard plots of MPL without a lot of customization.
