Do you feel 2D plotting is sufficiently developed to be useful at this point?

Sufficiently developed? No way. Is it getting there? Yes I think. There are no plotting facilities part of the standard library, but external packages like Winston [1] are available -- but the syntax was verbose for my taste, so I let it pass.

According to this SO question[2], there was some web-REPL plotting earlier but it is unmaintained now.

Agreed. If you are worried about the syntax for plotting, take a look at Gadfly, which aims to implements the Grammar of Graphics language for julia.

You can also plot with Gaston, which is a frontend for gnuplot.
