[Matplotlib-users] Which api to learn?

[Neal B. <ndb...@gm...>]

I've never used matlab (and hope never to have to).  But I've been using pyplot 
api for mpl for quite a while.

Is there any good reason to move to the "native" mpl api and drop pyplot?  I ask 
because as I understand, pyplot is intended as a matlab workalike, and since I 
never learned matlab I have no need for that crutch.  OTOH, I'm quite used to 
the pyplot api at this point.
