Comment on ggplot2 is love. ggplot2 is life.
scrion@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoOnce you have figured it out, it’s actually a nice workflow. Don’t get me wrong, when I’m not publishing a paper, I quickly forget all commands, my whole setup etc. and start from scratch, cursing a lot and retracing my steps in the. history, basically re-learning the framework. I’d still never move away from ggplot2.

I agree with you. I love ggplot2. And I’m good at it. So it’s my software of choice when doing data analysis and when making graphs.
However, I understand that there’s an upfront cost to pay to use it: learning to code, tidying data, etc…
And beyond that, I don’t really do data analysis with spreadsheet software like Excel or LibreCalc. So I don’t know if a proficient LibreCalc user would be able to compete with a proficient ggplot2 user.
