Thanks for not burning us to the ground immediately😉!

Since we don’t intend to replace matplotlib, we still inherent the quicks but intend to smooth those out. For example we provide a custom gridspec that allows for 2d slicing (or linear slicing); layouts by default are flexible and sharing where it makes sense.

I do wonder, what would the alternative look like for the standard `fig, ax‘ paradigm? I am aware of plotly’s approach, but am willing to explore other options.

I agree. All I am saying that in the limit where we all use services that respect privacy and stay away from big tech, we still have a major issue that we currently don’t have a solution for and is very hard to avoid or eliminate completely.
