Seaborn is great for visualization; it basically packages up some of the more specialized R plots for MPL. The other thing I really love about it are plotting contexts, which make it really easy to properly size and format the same plot for e.g. a poster and a paper.

Interestingly enough, my biggest use of Pandas is to serialize to and from HDF5. I work with a lot of large datasets and Pandas simplifies using HDF5 quite a lot.

For those interested, you can also get nice styles with just matplotlib (including seaborn style) using stylesheets:

I had no idea it existed, very useful, thanks!

I've been loving Pandas used alongside Seaborn as well. It's really just so easy to manipulate/visualize my data (and make it look gorgeous) with the combo.

Pandas are great. Looking forward to Dask.
