I don’t know if I’m that enthusiastic about ggplot2. It is certainly a competent library and it produces pretty plots. However it has a pronounced “my way or the highway” streak which sometimes gets in the way. I like nice defaults, I don’t like it when a library enforces its opinions on me (see e.g. this noting that Hadley is the ggplot2 author).
