Makie was what convinced me to completely switch from Python to Julia. Matplotlib and the Python plotting ecosystem was always a pain point. Makie, for me, was simple and the defaults looked great. I was pretty quickly able to get a simple GUI that integrated with my laboratory instruments to automatically spit out plots. The team also does a great job of improving the package. Just my two cents.
