I agree with @goerz . I use Plots.jl in my everyday programming/exploration but switch to PyPlot.jl (which is a one-to-one wrapper of matplotlib in Python) when I need to create publication-grade figures. I am quite curious about Makie.jl and have heard a lot good things and keep telling myself that I will try next time but that hasn’t happened so far 😅

[Here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/comparison-of-plotting-packages/99860/2) is a really good summary/comparison of the different plotting packages.
