#gnuplot is great. I've been feeding the results of #sqlite queries into it via org-babel, and it works almost perfectly; the only exception being that I can't use column names in the gnuplot dataset.

Maybe I'll write a blog post about that... In some moderately distant future.

It feels much less accessible compared to #matplotlib, but not more so than #emacs, I guess. And it's great not to carry any dependencies except the gnuplot library, particularly for the Org Mode use case.

The charts sometimes look like a hello from the 90s, but to me it's a plus that they don't give the "matplotlib on defaults" vibe which is omnipresent in modern science :D
