On viceroy if you unintentionally put 2000 lines on a graph, you get a visual mess. If you do that on grafana your tab will hang for ten minutes. Big difference.

True, but that only happens when setting up graphs. Graphs are not changed as often as they are viewed.

I'm sure viceroy is more performant, and I'm not denying that, I may also be scarred a bit because I found writing mash queries an arcane nightmare, and those are related to viceroy.

The default (rpc latencies and etc) views and metrics you get are amazing however.

You can also get tons of lines when modifying group by expressions, which you can do ineffectively.

Mash is indeed arcane, although gmon (viceroy) makes it worse than usual.
