This is how terrible API's are kept in use, wasting professional's time and making the field way less accessible for newcomers.

Compare ggplot to matplotlib. They both serve the same purpose but one has an API you can actually reason about and use without needing to consult the documentation every five minutes.

matplotlib is just matlab. its a free matlab implementation. if you don't know matlab then absolutely don't use matplotlib, its a terrible library except that one thing. This is what I'm talking about though, you are complaining about something without knowing why it is the way it is.
