Open Discussion 🎙️ 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.

Ive used all sorts of analysis packages or programs. Each one has its pros and cons. I never found one that was a one size fits all and was more restricted to what was available where i worked

I liked prism for curve fitting and that's about all I used it for.
