Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I wouldn't put matplotlib graphs in a paper without tweaking the style, and it gets frustrating when you have to do this for every single plotting script you write. And the defaults certainly aren't colourblind-friendly.

eh, you know, you can put your styles in a rc-file? and yeah, you have to load your defaults every single script (though you have to do that with every tool?!)
