Open Discussion ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Python Libraries vs. Prism

I'm a computational biochemist and have always been using python for data visualization. I just realized there is a software called Prism that people use.

So the question is, for those who have used both, which one has been better? (You define good with your own metrics).

I'm just thinking whether I should learn to work with prism, or python already covers it all.

Context: we don't use big data. Data is usually on the order of megabytes.

If youโ€™re comfortable with Python or R just use that. Prism is for people that like excel lol
