I think the design goal of Makie is to become the go-to package for plotting in Julia (or at least one of them), and it’s already very usable and powerful, if still in rapid development. In terms of replacing Plots I don’t think that Plots is going away anytime soon; but Makie is already very far in terms of being usable by people as a drop-in replacement for Plots, in that it now consumes RecipesBase recipes via the MakieRecipes package. The interface is still a bit rough around the edges but will solidify over time.
