A comment on Why I use ggplot2.

Python's matplotlib was apparently good enough for the Gravitational Wave paper.

I think both this post and the post it is arguing against are actually arguing the same thing... You have to think about what you are communicating and not just plot out things and say you're done.

matplotlib is a bit off-topic for comparing R packages.

No one is saying that either base or ggplot2 is insufficient for academic analysis, but one may be more practical than the other.
