matplotlib and pandas were designed with the idea of mimicking interfaces more popular than the project (when they were first conceived). The "easy" interface is a large part of why those projects are now more popular then their inspirations.

very true; I found matplotlib very appealing because I didn't have to relearn anything coming from matlab

Ah, that makes sense (I suppose I should have guessed from the name). I never understood matplotlib's popularity, but if its a matlab clone that makes way more sense.
